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.

Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen
Protecting Washington State's environment for current and future generations is what we do every day at Ecology. In 2019, Governor Jay Inslee signed ESHB 1112 to transition away from the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HFCs are chemicals commonly used in air conditioning systems, in refrigeration, as propellants, and in the production of insulating foams. HFCs are extremely potent greenhouse gases. Reducing HFCs in products substantially decreases public exposure to harmful pollutants and helps address climate change. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Specialist is part of the Climate Policy section of the Air Quality Program . This position helps to identify, prevent, and minimize air pollution, specializing in the implementation of the HFC program. We are looking for creative, organized, self-starters with excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical information to non-technical audiences. We invest in our employees to create and sustain a working environment that encourages creative leadership, effective resource management, teamwork, professionalism and accountability.
