[ES_JOBS_NET] Greenhouse Gas Engineering Specialist (Environmental Engineer 3)

[Kaku, Katie (ECY)]

Washington has adopted ground-breaking legislation to address climate change by sharply reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. Do you care passionately about climate change? Are you seeking a challenging and rewarding job in which you will be directly addressing the climate crisis? Then join us as we implement this historic legislation<https://ecology.wa.gov/About-us/How-we-operate/2021-Legislative-priorities>.

The Air Quality Program<https://ecology.wa.gov/Air-Climate> (AQP) is looking to fill a Greenhouse Gas Engineering Specialist (Environmental Engineer 3) position. This position will be located at our Headquarters Building in Lacey, WA<http://www.ci.lacey.wa.us/>. Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station.

The mission of the Air Quality Program<http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/air/airhome.html> is to protect and improve air quality in Washington and to protect our State's environment for current and future generations. In 2021, Washington's Legislature passed the landmark Climate Commitment Act (CCA) - a sweeping piece of legislation that directs Ecology to develop and implement the state's first Cap-and-Invest Program to help our state meet its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 95% by 2050.

Officially launched on January 1, 2023, Washington's program is only the second such economy-wide program in the nation, and the work of implementing this program has only just begun. It's a big task with even bigger long-term impacts on the state's greenhouse gas emissions and the global fight against climate change. The CCA Implementation Group is already hard at work and looking to hire a diverse range of mission-focused professionals to help us bring this important legislation to life.

As the Greenhouse Gas Engineering Specialist, you will be the agency's subject matter expert on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions verification under the Climate Commitment Act. In this role, you will:

  *   Review submissions from facilities and entities for accuracy and completeness of fuel supplier information and reported GHG emissions.
  *   Provide review of and technical assistance with engineering analyses and emissions data provided by businesses and consultants.
  *   Cultivate and maintain relationships and ongoing communication with stakeholders and regulated entities covered by the GHG reporting program by providing proactive information, consulting with senior staff, and answering technical questions.
  *   Identify implications and participate in review of proposed federal or state stationary source regulations and guidance documents that may relate to or affect greenhouse gas accounting or carbon pollution.
