The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County is a West Coast metropolitan agency that provides wastewater treatment and solid waste disposal services to approximately five million people in Southern California. We accomplish this through the operation of eleven wastewater treatment facilities, four sanitary landfills and a refuse to energy facility. Our wastewater treatment facilities range in size from 0.2 to 400 MGD and treat combined domestic and industrial flows.
Treatment varies from advanced primary with partial secondary to tertiary with effluent reuse.
Our sanitary landfills and refuse to energy facility accept approximately 17,000 tons per day of non-hazardous residential, commercial and industrial solid waste. Energy recovery and conversion is an integral facet of many of our facilities. The Districts are accepting applications and resumes from graduate students, to fill a limited number of entry-level positions. Essentially, all engineering is performed in-house and our innovative engineering practices have received nationwide recognition. Excellent fringe benefits are offered which include fully paid medical and dental plans, fully paid retirement system with exemption from the Social Security contribution, tuition reimbursement and ridesharing incentives such as modified work schedules at some locations.
