Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen
The Air Quality Program (AQP) within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill an Air Sensor Calibration & Repair Specialist (Environmental Specialist 4) (In-Training) position. This position is located in our Headquarters Office in Lacey, WA .
Help protect Washington’s future: You can help to protect our communities from air pollution and protect our state’s future from the threat of climate change. As part of the Climate Commitment Act, a new law designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Washington, the Legislature established a linked program to monitor air quality in communities that today bear a disproportionate burden from air pollution, and take steps to reduce that pollution.
As the senior section specialist, you will use advanced scientific knowledge of air monitoring methods and principles to provide vital technical support and coordination of the Air Quality Program’s ambient air monitoring efforts, with a focus in overburdened communities consistent with the implementation of the environmental justice provisions of the Climate Commitment Act. In this position, you will be an integral member of a highly collaborative statewide air monitoring team helping to gather critical information that the Air Quality Program will use to protect and improve air quality in Washington State. You will assemble, test, calibrate, repair, and prepare low-cost air pollution sensors and Federal Reference or Equivalent Method (FRM or FEM) air monitors and associated equipment for deployment to identified overburdened communities throughout the state, while ensuring collected data are accurate and meet quality system requirements.
Everyone deserves clean air to breathe and a sustainable future that addresses the challenges of climate change. The Air Quality Program works to monitor air quality and reduce air pollution to protect the health of everyone who lives, works, and plays in Washington. The mission of the Air Quality Program (AQP) is to protect and improve air quality in Washington. The Air Quality Program’s vision is clean, healthy air and climate for all of Washington. One of our goals is to inform decisions, and raise public awareness and engagement by providing accurate and timely information on ambient air pollution and its impacts. The Calibration & Repair Laboratory is part of the NWRO/SWRO & Air Quality Operations Unit, which includes the Quality Assurance (QA) Team as well as the NWRO and SWRO Air Monitoring Site Operators, who collaborate internally and with operators and other air quality professionals in the statewide air monitoring team to gather that air pollution information. This position plays a vital role in helping the statewide air monitoring team also implement new monitoring in overburdened communities in accordance with the environmental justice provisions of the Climate Commitment Act.
Protecting Washington State's environment for current and future generations is what we do every day at Ecology. We are a culture that is invested in making a difference. Join a team that is highly effective and collaborative, with leadership that embraces the value of people.
