Climate Change: Clean Fuel Standard Program Analyst (Environmental Specialist 4)(In-Training) position: Transportation emissions are our biggest source of greenhouse gases in Washington and they have not declined meaningfully in the last 30 years. The Clean Fuel Standard is a new policy that aims to change that, decarbonizing the transportation sector while creating economic opportunity in electric vehicles and low carbon fuels. We are looking for an analyst to be responsible for the Clean Fuels program data. We will be receiving reports on all transportation fuels used in the state, monitoring a marketplace for compliance credits, tracking costs, and looking for possible fraud or double-counting. The analyst needs to be highly organized, have a keen eye for detail, and be good at producing insights from data. This position is responsible for helping fuel suppliers submit accurate reports, producing recurring reports of program data, and monitoring multiple data sources to predict future credit price swings and compliance challenges. You don’t need to be an expert in transportation fuel markets to succeed in this role, just a love of numbers, good Excel skills, the ability to provide great technical support, and a desire to be on the leading edge of climate policy in the U.S.
