This position is located   in our   Headquarters Office   in   Lacey, WA.   Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station. 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 and commits our state 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 Cap-and-Invest Program employs market mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded. The proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The CCA Implementation Group is already hard at work and looking to hire a diverse range of mission-focused professionals to help us make this important program a success.   As the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting and Verification Section Manager you will play a critical role in the success of the Cap-and-Invest Program. The Emissions Reporting and Verification Section is part of the CCA Implementation Group, and is responsible for receiving, processing, analyzing, and verifying emissions data from reporting entities. As a result, this Section provides the foundation for the whole Cap-and-Invest Program and is therefore central to the State’s efforts to address climate change, decarbonize the economy, and prepare Washington for a leadership role in the green economy of the future.
