Air Resources Supervisor I

This position can be located in Sacramento or Riverside County.

The Sustainable Transportation and Communities Division is recruiting for an organized and motivated Air Resources Supervisor I (ARS I), to oversee a team of professional and technical staff working on zero emission vehicle regulations including infrastructure in the Advanced Clean Cars Branch. The Section consists of a friendly team of professional staff supporting development and implementation efforts for the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) ZEV assurance measures to help achieve California's ambitious air quality, climate, and environmental justice goals.

The mission of the Advanced Clean Cars Branch is to foster a sustainable market for zero­ and ultra-clean emission light-duty vehicle technologies through regulations and market supporting policies. The Advanced Clean Cars II program requires a percentage of new vehicle sales to be zero emission for the light-duty fleet. The Advanced Clean Cars II program also requires ZEV assurance measures, which include requirements for ZEV durability, warranty, battery labeling, and serviceability. These assurance measures individually and collectively support the emission reductions of the Advanced Clean Cars II program by ensuring that ZEVs perform as needed to replace conventional vehicles fully and permanently.

Under the general direction of the Air Resources Supervisor II (ARS II), the ARS I will direct and oversee the work of a team of professional staff performing technical and policy work related to zero emission vehicles and infrastructure. The ARS I provides general leadership to the section; directs the development and implementation of regulations and other program guidance materials; leads, participates and supports staff in conducting workshops and other stakeholder engagement; and represents the program in public venues and working groups.

If you are passionate about zero emission vehicles, have a strong technical background, and enjoy leading teams, we encourage you to apply!
