Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen
The Air Quality program within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill a Program Contracts and Grants Specialist (Environmental Specialist 4) position.
Location:
Headquarters Office in Lacey, WA .
Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station.
Schedule:
This position is eligible for telework and flexible schedule options.
A minimum of one day per week is required in the office.
Schedules are dependent upon position needs and are subject to change.
Application Timeline:
Apply by September 3, 2025
This position will remain open until filled. The agency reserves the right to make a hire at any time after application review begins. Applications received after the date above may not be considered.
Duties
As the Program Contracts and Grants Specialist, you will interface with Air Quality Program and Ecology staff in a multitude of disciplines. You will also directly consult with and support local government and not-for-profit grant recipients, Tribes, local clean air agencies, the Attorney General’s office and other agencies and universities. Your grant portfolio includes landfill methane grants, improving air quality in overburdened communities, diesel and soot reduction, and other federal environmental grants. You will receive support and be involved with the Agency-wide grant group (including other agency-wide grant administrators) and develop expertise in competitive procurement processes.
What you will do:
Manage and coordinate grant application process and pre-application announcement, including resolving issues, for assigned grant programs so that potential applicants are well informed, final awards are as equitable and as widespread as possible, and grant spending can begin in a minimal amount of time. Provide administrative assistance to regional offices and recipients on budgetary design/planning and contractual requirements, including but not limited to: grant agreements, payment request / progress reports, amendments, and close-out process.
Provide applicants, recipients, and project managers with administrative assistance and direction in the interpretation of grant agreement and guidelines, state and federal statutes and rules, AQP and Agency policies and procedures, as well as audit requirements and grantee relationships.
Participate in the pre-award, grant application, and loan agreement review process. Develop recommendations to management for final proposed applicant award list/rankings and grant award amounts so that grant funds can be awarded to recipients most likely to provide the most effective clean air programs in the most vulnerable communities.
Communicate award decisions to applicants, management, and program staff.
Develop and negotiate grant agreement amendments with Ecology program management, Ecology project managers, and grant recipients so that recipients can implement effective programs that reduce health and environmental threats from smoke and motor vehicle emissions or achieve overall cleaner air in Washington communities. Independently review and approve requests for grant payments by determining eligibility of recipient costs for consistency with the grant regulations, program guidelines, and agency requirements outlined in Ecology’s Administrative Requirements for Ecology Grants and Loans (Yellow Book), Ecology Publication No. 91-18 and that costs are billed to the correct task and fund source.
Verify recipient has correctly and completely updated required information in Ecology’s Administration of Grants and Loans (EAGL) system and provide technical assistance and direction regarding EAGL.
Monitor grant activities and accomplishments and ensure compliance and fulfillment of grant and contract timeline and deliverables prior to reimbursement or closing the grant to ensure that grant funds have produced the most productive and credible clean air initiatives.
Conduct tracking and analysis of grant activities, including generating and reviewing active grant status reports to ensure compliance with grant agreement, regulations, policies and procedures.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications: Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are:
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
Experience for both required and desired qualifications can be gained through various combinations of formal professional employment, education, and volunteer experience. See below for how you may qualify.
Nine years of experience and education performing environmental-based work, OR work which includes two or more of the following:
Experience developing or managing grants, contracts, or loans
Experience interpreting policy and providing technical assistance
Experience overseeing contractor or consultant services for compliance and performance

About the Program:
Global Forest Watch
The World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Forest Program w orks with governments, businesses, and civil society to sustain forests for future generations. We aim to curb deforestation worldwide and help restore and reforest already-cleared land. With these goals in mind, the Global Forest Watch (GFW) initiative makes the best available data for monitoring forests accessible online. By harnessing cutting-edge technology, GFW allows anyone to access near real-time information about where and how forests are changing around the world.
GFW Pro
Recognizing that the agricultural industry is essential for human well-being yet is often associated with tropical deforestation, the GFW Pro team focuses on developing monitoring solutions for commodity supply chains. With the online application GFW Pro , companies, financial institutions and other entities can securely monitor and manage for deforestation risk in areas they buy from or invest in. To ensure the continued utility and impact of GFW Pro, the team works closely with these stakeholders to identify, pilot and integrate new solutions into the platform.
GFW Research
As part of the broader GFW initiative, Global Forest Watch’s research team of GIS Analysts and researchers collaborates with partners to collect and analyze forest data and produce meaningful insights for day-to-day users, local governments, and other stakeholders, while also providing near real time forest monitoring platforms for local NGOs and forest monitoring organizations. GFW’s research team conducts research on the causes and consequences of forest change around the world, generally at large spatial scales with remote sensing-derived products. The research team collaborates with teams throughout WRI, as well as external partners. The research team creates new geospatial forest-related data sets for inclusion on GFW platforms and analyzes existing data.
Job Highlight: The Research and GFW Pro teams are engaged in an initiative to include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from forest loss in GFW Pro, in compliance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s forthcoming land sector guidance for companies. This will allow companies to report supply chain GHG emissions alongside deforestation using GFW Pro. This position will carry out GIS analyses to support the inclusion of emissions in GFW Pro.
Four initial stages of work will be: 1) testing different permutations of calculating GHG emissions from forest loss (different data sets, different methods) with the Research and Pro teams, 2) working with a few companies with substantial land-based GHG emissions to pilot emissions methods with their own data, 3) calculating emissions from deforestation globally due to supply chains, and 4) working with the GFW Pro engineering/website team to include emissions calculations in the GFW Pro platform. After emissions calculations have been included in GFW Pro, this position will conduct other analyses (carbon and not carbon-related), both to support GFW Pro and as part of the larger GFW research team.
This position requires experience programming with geospatial data, automating tasks, and large-scale analyses. Familiarity with forest carbon monitoring an d corporate supply chains is required . Opportunities for outreach and engagement will also be available.
You will be supported by researchers and analysts throughout GFW, as well as the engagement and communications teams.
You will report to the GIS Research Manager for GFW.
