The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is the primary regulatory agency of the government of the U.S. State of Oregon responsible for protecting and enhancing the state’s natural resources.
The Office of Greenhouse Gas Programs is responsible for leading the agency’s efforts to develop and implement statewide climate programs to reduce Oregon’s greenhouse gas emissions. This includes programs that collect data on Oregon’s greenhouse emissions, and that directly regulate the most significant sources of those emissions across the state. The Office of Greenhouse Gas Programs also analyzes various climate policies as they are proposed by policymakers.
You will serve as the statewide expert on the development and implementation of Oregon’s Climate Protection Program, a market-based program that caps and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. You will join the Office of Greenhouse Gas Programs as a lead policy and technical staff member in matters related to the design, development, and implementation of programs to establish limits on climate pollution. You will be responsible for research and development of policies to support these programs. In addition, you will actively work to maintain relationships with other national experts in the field.
Minimum Qualifications: 8 years of experience in a natural resource or environmental field, with at least 1 year of experience at a technical or professional level performing activities in a natural resource program such as researching and analyzing data, conducting investigations, applying pertinent laws and regulations, or coordinating and monitoring project activities.
Substitutions:
Bachelor’s degree in physical science, environmental science, natural resources, or a closely related field may substitute for 3 of the required years of experience.

Demonstrated knowledge of a wide range of federal and/or state climate change initiatives designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly market-based programs targeting emissions in the transportation, industrial and/or energy sectors.
Experience designing, developing, and/or implementing regulatory or government policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly capped emission reduction programs or other market-based programs.
