Description
The Agency is seeking two regular full-time Air Resource Specialists to improve regional air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Puget Sound Region. Because the majority of the region’s GHG emissions come from transportation, we are focusing our efforts on that sector through a variety of strategies, such as lower-carbon fuels, increased adoption of zero-emission vehicles, and strategies that encourage alternative modes of transportation beyond single occupancy vehicles (mode shift). These efforts will also reduce traditional air pollutants and reduce inequities in air pollution exposure, especially in our communities adjacent to major roadways. This position will play a key role in delivering that work.
Position Overview
The Air Resource Specialist will implement strategies and programs to reduce emissions from the transportation sector, including increasing the electrification of transportation, equitably increasing access to zero-emission vehicles across the region, increasing availability of low–carbon-intensity transportation fuels, and supporting the Western Washington Clean Cities Coalition (WWCCC). The Agency has hosted the WWCCC, a Department of Energy program whose mission is to reduce dependence on foreign oil, for more than a decade. Job duties for this position include:
Work closely with internal and external partners to identify, evaluate, and implement strategies that reduce harmful air pollution and GHG emissions from transportation in our region.
Develop, implement, and manage projects that promote sustainable alternative fuels and technologies, with a likely emphasis on battery-electric vehicles.
Build and maintain effective relationships and partnerships with Coalition members, community organizations, stakeholders and other agencies.
Stay abreast of market developments relevant to clean transportation and sustainable alternative fuels and technologies.
Communicate technical and policy information clearly and provide assistance to a variety of internal and external audiences and customers.
Develop ideas and find ways to make air quality and transportation access more equitable in our region for underrepresented communities. • Align and integrate project work with the Agency’s strategic plan to attain Agency goals, objectives and long-term vision.
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
The specialist will have expertise in one or more of the following areas to complement existing staff resources: climate science and policy, transportation planning and policy, and air quality science and policy. The ideal candidate will possess:
Strong technical knowledge and understanding of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies and their emissions, including but not limited to battery electric vehicles, hybridelectric technology, renewable natural gas, biofuels, compressed natural gas, and propane autogas.
Knowledge, skill, and direct experience in policy and program development.
Willingness and ability to learn new skills and to stay current with evolving technology and policy.
Skill conceiving, planning, developing, managing, and tracking complex projects to successful completion, including contract management.
Strong organizational skills and ability to successfully manage multiple on-going projects simultaneously.
High attention to detail and accuracy.
Proven ability to work successfully under tight deadlines and meet high quality standards.
Proven sound judgment and problem-solving skills, including developing solutions to project-related problems and issues.
Dedication to teamwork, i.e., works collaboratively with internal and external teams, and assists in the development of solutions to project-related problems and issues.
Ability to take charge of complex issues or projects and provide leadership.
Experience independently recognizing and defining goals, identifying what needs to be done to reach the goals, initiating that work, and ensuring the work is completed.
Skill in outreach and working collaboratively with diverse organizations and individuals, creating and maintaining strong relationships with them, and persuading others to take action.
Understanding of and ability to apply the principles of equity and environmental justice throughout program/project development and implementation.
Superior written, verbal and presentation skills suitable for interaction with internal and external technical and non-technical colleagues, stakeholders, partners, contractors, consultants, and the general public.

Environment New Jersey is hiring an experienced advocate to protect public health and the environment by expanding to 100% renewable energy and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. In the age of Trump, it is more critical than ever for the states to lead on policy. The Advocate will work with Environment New Jersey’s director and our national program team as well as with our organizers, stakeholders and key coalition allies to build momentum and expand support for New Jersey’s clean, renewable energy future.
For the last ten years, Environment New Jersey has played a leading role in building a bridge of New Jersey’s renewable energy future. We have helped achieve victories for the state’s environment to clean up our air and water and transition New Jersey to a clean energy economy—and to defend against the rollbacks and climate inaction at the state and national level. With new state leadership in the New Jersey State House and Gov. Murphy Administration, this is the time for the organization to be charting the path ahead for clean energy.
Historically, our research, grassroots education and mobilization, media outreach, coalition work and decision-maker education have mobilized public support for statewide environmental initiatives. This includes winning increased mandates for clean energy through a strong Renewable Portfolio Standard that requires New Jersey to produce 21% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, increased clean car standards, and a solar power market that is still a regional leader. Each year, we reach hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans through our online e-activist network (which is 60,000 strong), newsletters, and our door-to-door canvassing campaigns.
New Jersey has faced the direct impacts of extreme weather through increased flooding and noreasters, extreme weather events like derechos and Hurricane Sandy and extreme heat and sustained high temperatures. But we also continue to have a robust clean energy sector and solar program that has taken off over the course of this decade, with about 2.2 gigawatts of clean energy. But we need to do more.
The clean energy advocate will help us to reach these clean energy campaign goals:
Expand Clean Energy: New Jersey has fallen behind on our clean energy goals compared to the actions of neighboring states. The advocate will work to build public support for clean, renewable energy and the jobs it provides, and to build the political support to achieve a clean, renewable energy future. Policies to support this vision include expanding the renewable portfolio standard to 50% clean energy by 2030 and 80% by 2040, achieving our off-shore wind goals and expanding energy efficiency programs, expanding our electric car infrastructure to be able to meet our clean cars goals and expanding solar power and battery storage technology. This will help New Jersey on a pathway to reach 100% clean, renewable energy future, as well as mobilize support from a diverse set of stakeholders, including mayors and city councilors, businesses, and the general public.
To win, we need to get more people engaged to press our decision-makers to outline their agenda for New Jersey’s clean energy agenda. We need to get more people, more opinion leaders, more organizations representing diverse constituencies engaged in this effort, especially in our work through the Jersey Renews coalition.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Campaign Coordination: Working with our staff and our campaign allies to win ongoing support for local, state and federal policies to support clean energy policies. This will include building partnerships with allies, especially in the clean energy sector, and being responsible for meeting our tactical campaign goals.
Coalition Building: Cultivating relationships with diverse and powerful allies across the state and expanding the constituencies supporting our efforts. This will include building and working with a coalition of more than 50 key allies and getting them actively involved in our campaign including attending events, participating in press conferences, and tapping into their networks to promote our campaign.
Media and Visibility: Getting the word out far and wide, in the media and through other channels is a critical part of our work. By elevating the issue in the public debate, we can better educate and motivate our supporters and hold decision-makers accountable. Opportunities for visibility will include releasing reports, writing and developing materials, including press releases, developing talking points, op-eds, letters to the editor, in addition to social media materials and doing outreach to the media.
Grassroots Mobilization: Working with our staff to mobilize citizens in support of our campaigns both on and offline and develop new leaders. Providing compelling information and opportunities for action to our members and general public will be a critical component of winning our clean energy campaigns.
Recruitment: Help recruit new interns and new volunteers to increase our impact and build more power.
Qualifications
Candidates must have at least 1-3 years of relevant professional experience. Qualified candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to environmental and public interest issues and to citizen-based social change, as well as a track record of leadership. We're looking for goal-driven and results-oriented individuals who have excellent verbal, writing and analytical skills, the ability to speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and enthusiasm for the work.
Pay & Benefits
Target annual compensation for this position is commensurate with the relevant professional experience and/or degrees that a candidate has. Environment America offers a competitive benefits package.
