Job Description And Duties

Do you enjoy using scientific data analysis skills to answer air quality questions and inform policy decisions? Would you thrive on explaining intricate concepts in plain language, and interacting with a variety of stakeholders to bring about improvements in air quality, especially in communities disproportionately burdened by air pollution? If so, this position in the Heavy-Duty Incentives and Training Section (the Section) in the Compliance Assistance and Outreach Branch may be for you!

We seek a motivated, curious, self-starting person to join us to further the Section’s mission to educate government and small-business entities about compliance with regulations to reduce emissions from mobile sources, like trucks, buses, and school buses, and to promote the use of zero-emission technologies in commercial applications that support criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals.

The incumbent will be responsible for using scientific principles, tools, and software to analyze large data sets and help design, develop, and implement targeted, effective outreach campaigns and tools to promote regulatory and incentives programs that support end-user decisions to reduce air pollution. Such campaigns may include: in-person, remote, or recorded presentations or community events, social media or web-based content, or written outreach materials, designed for vehicle owners and operators, public fleet managers, industry representatives, local government representatives, private citizens, and trade groups. The incumbent will represent the California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) in meetings, workshops, trade shows, conferences, and other venues.

The incumbent will assess outreach program efficacy by analyzing data such as user feedback, applicant and program statistics, vehicle and charging station data, and more, to compare to program goals and make recommendations for program modifications to improve outcomes. The successful candidate will coordinate extensively with other CARB programs, federal programs, local air district personnel, and other stakeholders, to understand, synthesize, and communicate technical and policy information in support of regulatory and funding programs for heavy-duty mobile sources. This person may also assist with other branch efforts, including administering contracts and grants; and writing clear, concise reports and other types of correspondence.
