Job Summary
Engineer I The employees occupying positions of this class are responsible for performing and resolving routine civil engineering tasks and problems working within established guidelines applying generally known and accepted engineering standards. The Engineer I is an entry level engineer position. These employees operate from an office or in the field performing work under the supervision of an administrative supervisor. This is the first step in a career progression that continues to the Engineer II position and the Engineer III position. Engineer II employees work on more complex engineering tasks with less supervision and Engineer III employees manage the most complex engineering projects and are Certified Professional Engineers. Engineer II The employees occupying the positions of this class are responsible for performing and resolving technical and complex civil engineering tasks and problems within the framework of broad engineering and administrative guidelines. The Engineer II position is the second step in a career progression that begins with Engineer I and ends with Engineer III. Engineer II employees perform tasks with limited supervision and require substantial use of independent judgment within the scope of advanced engineering assignments. Engineer I employees perform basic engineer work under the supervision of an administrative supervisor. Engineer III employees manage the more technical engineering projects and are Certified Professional Engineers. Engineer III This is professional level engineering work for the Department of Community Development. Within general parameters established by management, the employees occupying positions of this class perform complex technical work in a specialized phase of engineering.

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.
The Cap-and-Invest Group (CIG) is responsible for the implementation and operation of Washington’s Cap-and-Invest Program, which employs a market mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Cap-and-Invest Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain and retire compliance instruments equivalent to their emissions. These compliance instruments, which include emissions allowances, offset credits, can be bought, sold, and traded. The market for these commodities began in January 2023, the first allowance auction was held in February of that year, and the proceeds of the auctions are invested by the state in projects to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The allowance auctions that the Auctions and Market Section are responsible for generate on average approximately $1 billion dollars per year and provide a critical and necessary funding stream to support the achievement of Washington’s ambitious state-wide greenhouse gas reduction mandates.

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.
The Cap-and-Invest Group (CIG) is responsible for the implementation and operation of Washington’s Cap-and-Invest Program, which employs a market mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Cap-and-Invest Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain and retire compliance instruments equivalent to their emissions. These compliance instruments, which include emissions allowances, offset credits, can be bought, sold, and traded. The market for these commodities began in January 2023, the first allowance auction was held in February of that year, and the proceeds of the auctions are invested by the state in projects to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The allowance auctions that the Auctions and Market Section are responsible for generate on average approximately $1 billion dollars per year and provide a critical and necessary funding stream to support the achievement of Washington’s ambitious state-wide greenhouse gas reduction mandates.

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
