Duties
What makes this role unique?
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) governs how businesses must manage the hazardous waste they produce and Ecology regularly inspects businesses that produce significant amounts of waste.

This is where Ecology’s Pollution Prevention Assistance (PPA) Partnership comes in! In this role you’ll manage contracts with over two dozen local agencies to visit these businesses and provide technical assistance to ensure they are preventing pollution and managing their waste correctly. Our Partners have found and resolved tens of thousands of potential pollution issues. To support our Partners you will lead a team that provides training, networking, and resources so they are well equipped to help local businesses and you and your team will work with various committees to develop educational materials and incentives for businesses. What you will do:
Develop and manage over two dozen contracts with local government agencies totaling approximately $6 million each biennium.
Lead Ecology’s internal Pollution Prevention Assistance team who provides training and resources to specialists at our contracted partners.
Develop policy, strategic goals, and metrics to shape the direction and success of the PPA Partnership.
Coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams and other organizations to develop strategies to implement projects that reduce and replace toxic chemical use at businesses.
Conduct outreach to new government agencies to increase PPA Partnership coverage across the state and especially in eastern Washington.
Report on PPA Partnership efforts, successes, and challenges to management; determine funding needs; and work on budget requests and grant applications for funding to support Partnership growth.
