AIR RESOURCES SUPERVISOR I

Job Description and Duties

This position can be located in Sacramento or Riverside County. 

The Innovative Heavy-Duty Incentives Branch implements heavy-duty incentive projects that equitably transform the transportation, agriculture, and freight sectors to the cleanest technologies possible, improve the well-being and quality of life for all Californians, and spur and support competitive markets.

The Innovative Heavy-Duty Incentives Branch is seeking an Air Resources Supervisor I to lead a team of engineers and scientists in implementing the VW Environmental Mitigation Trust and FARMER programs.

The primary responsibilities of this position include:

• Coordinate and supervise the work of several engineers and scientists;
• Plan, organize, and direct staff in developing emission reduction strategies for heavy-duty on- and off-road vehicle and equipment specifically through incentive programs designed to transform these sectors to the cleanest technologies possible;
• Plan, organize, and direct staff in implementing the VW Mitigation Trust;
• Plan, organize, and direct staff in implementing the FARMER program;
• Assist staff and other managers outside the Branch and Division in the development and implementation of programs relating to heavy-duty incentives, such as the heavy-duty portions of CARB's Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives;
