The mission of the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumer energy costs by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency, and zero emission vehicles (ZEV) to benefit all Coloradans. We do this by developing and implementing highly impactful policies and programs, establishing Colorado as a leading state for climate action.
A critical strategy to reduce emissions in Colorado is electrifying the transportation sector - cars, trucks, buses, and bicycles. Colorado has the fifth highest market share for electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, but we have a long way to go to reach our goal of 940,000 EVs on the road by 2030. We do this by providing direct funding for the installation of charging stations across Colorado, supporting incentives to purchase an EV, and providing education and technical support to consumers and vehicle fleets on the environmental and financial benefits of EVs. In addition, we incentivize other forms of electric mobility including electric bicycles (e-bikes) through multiple programs.
CEO currently has an opening for an Outreach and Engagement Specialist to join the Transportation team. This role will support and develop relationships with a broad set of stakeholders including, but not limited to, state agencies, utilities, local governments, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and nonprofits, potential program applicants (organizations and individuals), and others in urban, suburban and rural areas including disproportionately impacted communities (DICs). The position will work with members of the team to advance transportation electrification statewide for for-profit/market-rate customers as well as income-qualified residents and DICs. Outreach and engagement efforts may include in-person and virtual meetings, presentations and events, social media, collateral development, and more. Up to 15% of the Specialist’s time may be spent traveling throughout Colorado, connecting and developing relationships to advance transportation electrification efforts.
We are committed to increasing the diversity of our staff and providing culturally responsive programs and services. Therefore, we encourage responses from people of diverse backgrounds and abilities.
