Job Description and Duties
CLIMATE INVESTMENTS, IMPLEMENTATION SECTION.  Are you interested in working on climate change and improving the environment and public health of California's communities?  We are seeking an Air Resources Engineer to implement the California Climate Investments program, which utilizes Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds for transportation, land-use and housing, energy, natural resources, and waste diversion projects that further the purposes of the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), reduce greenhouse gases to meet 2020, 2030, and 2050 targets, and benefit the State's most disadvantaged and low income communities.  Position responsibilities include conducting technical and policy assessments for ARB and the 14+ State agencies administering the program to ensure investments reduce GHG emissions and provide environmental, economic, and public-health benefits to these communities.  You will use engineering principles to develop innovative and robust analytical methods to assess the air quality, and other environmental, economic, and public health co-benefits of these investments to the State.  You will also work within the section to ensure program accessibility for disadvantaged communities, evaluate large data sets using statistics and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of benefits, and develop reports and interactive maps designed to provide accountability and transparency on the use of these dollars to the Board, the Administration, the Legislature, and the public.
This position will require communication and coordination with numerous State agencies, local governments, industry groups, and advocates for community and environmental interests.  Duties also include presenting program information and recommendations in a clear and concise manner to ARB management and executives, other government agencies, businesses, communities, and advocacy groups.  Travel is required.  Information on the program may be found on our website:  www.arb.ca.gov/auctionproceeds<http://www.arb.ca.gov/auctionproceeds>
