Specifically, this position will work on the development of new HFC rules including first of its kind refrigerant recovery and reuse program and assist in the implementation of recently adopted rules to ensure compliance. The successful candidate would work closely with affected stakeholders such as equipment manufacturers, contractors, service technicians, recyclers, government and non-government organizations. This will include understanding the challenges for each affected sector, identifying potential solutions, evaluating technical feasibility and cost, and drafting regulatory materials. Other responsibilities include reviewing and analyzing reported data, assisting in the investigation of rule violations, evaluating the effectiveness of the regulations, assisting with proposed mitigation measures, and preparing briefing papers and rulemaking documents. In addition, this position will assist in providing technical and regulatory support to other U.S. states under the US Climate Alliance that are actively working towards adopting F-gas regulations in their jurisdictions.
