About the Climate Pollution Reduction Program
The Climate Pollution Reduction Program's (CPRP's) mission is to implement policies and programs to reduce carbon emissions in the state of Washington so that the state meets its statutory greenhouse gas emission limits. The CPRP focuses long term, requiring creative and strategic decision making for implementation to achieve broad statewide and interstate success reducing carbon emissions in the state of Washington so residents have a healthy environment and climate.
Since November 2019, Washington has been transitioning away from using potent greenhouse gases known as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in products and equipment. These “super pollutant” greenhouse gases can be thousands of times more powerful than carbon dioxide. They're commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration, in producing insulating foams, and as propellants.
Launched in 2024, the Refrigerant Management Program (RMP) requires facilities with refrigeration and air conditioning systems containing more than 50 pounds of certain refrigerants to conduct periodic leak inspections, promptly repair leaks, and maintain records. The rule also requires service practices intended to minimize refrigerant emissions. The RMP is designed to reduce emissions of climate-polluting refrigerants from leaky refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

About the Climate Pollution Reduction Program
The Climate Pollution Reduction Program's (CPRP's) mission is to implement policies and programs to reduce carbon emissions in the state of Washington so that the state meets its statutory greenhouse gas emission limits. The CPRP focuses long term, requiring creative and strategic decision making for implementation to achieve broad statewide and interstate success reducing carbon emissions in the state of Washington so residents have a healthy environment and climate.
Since November 2019, Washington has been transitioning away from using potent greenhouse gases known as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in products and equipment. These “super pollutant” greenhouse gases can be thousands of times more powerful than carbon dioxide. They're commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration, in producing insulating foams, and as propellants.
Launched in 2024, the Refrigerant Management Program (RMP) requires facilities with refrigeration and air conditioning systems containing more than 50 pounds of certain refrigerants to conduct periodic leak inspections, promptly repair leaks, and maintain records. The rule also requires service practices intended to minimize refrigerant emissions. The RMP is designed to reduce emissions of climate-polluting refrigerants from leaky refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years.

30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
