AGRICULTURAL/STANDARDS OFFICERS
|
The Department has an on-going
recruitment effort for licensed Agricultural/Standards
Officers. Officers inspect a variety of businesses
to ensure that plants, devices and business activities
comply with State and Federal requirements. Licenses
are required to perform this inspection work and
are obtained from the California Department of Food
and Agriculture but license application forms are
available from our office. The five agricultural
licenses all require a bachelorÃs degree from an
accredited college in an agricultural, biological,
chemical or physical science. The three weights
and measures licenses require a bachelorÃs degree
or educational equivalent to graduation with major
work in chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering,
law enforcement, commerce or marketing. Experience
in inspection, repairing or installation of weighing/measuring
devices, consumer protection, law enforcement or
quantity control may be substituted on a year-for-year
basis for up to two years of the college education
requirement.

The Department establishes a hiring
list each year, usually in the Spring, for persons
interested in performing pest detection work. Individuals

and agricultural areas. Applicants should have some
familiarity with insects and a college level course
in entomology is highly recommended.
