Job Description and Duties

This position can be located in Sacramento or Riverside County.

Did you know that when comparing emissions from trucks and trains moving the same amount of freight, trucks are cleaner? In California, trains and the locomotives that move them often operate in neighborhoods that disproportionately bear health burdens from the movement of freight. If you would like to help improve air quality and protect public health, the Freight Systems Section (FSS) of the Transportation and Toxic Division is seeking a friendly, outgoing, and detail-oriented Air Resources Technician (ART) II to join their team. FSS develops and implements freight regulations addressing freight emissions sources, including the In-Use Locomotive Regulation (Locomotive Regulation).

The ART II will:

• Assist staff in implementing existing regulations by responding to technical phone calls, e- mails, and letters concerning regulatory compliance and other programmatic issues.

• Gather, enter, maintain, and provide reporting for regulatory compliance-related information for the Locomotive Regulation.

• Review spreadsheets and databases to implement solutions to process data and improve data quality.

• Support staff by monitoring and summarizing State and Federal regulations and programs as well as staying up-to-date on developments in zero emission freight technology.

• Help in developing and coordinating public outreach efforts relative to the development and implementation of control measures.

• Have the opportunity to propose and pursue projects furthering team goals.

Please do not use any form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to research or develop responses to application materials or during the interview process. The use of AI to create responses will disqualify you from further participation in the recruitment process.

Applying electronically via CalCareers is highly recommended. If submitting hardcopy applications (mail/drop-off), please email Essam.Gad@arb.ca.gov to confirm submission.

You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement.
