HD Training Regulation and Incentives Trainer

This position is a 12-month Limited Term (LT) and may be extended up to 24 months or become permanent.

If you have permanent status and have passed probation, you have mandatory reinstatement rights into your former position/classification at the end of this LT appointment. You will be separated from state service if you have not had prior permanent or probationary civil service status. During this 12-month limited-term assignment, you may be entitled to receive health, dental, and vision benefits. You will also earn State Service and accrue monthly leave credits.

Do you thrive on public speaking? Are you skilled at explaining complex concepts in unassuming language? Are you excited about helping fleets comply with regulations, and explaining the benefits of zero- and near-zero-emissions technology in plain language to a variety of audiences? If so, this position in the Training and Community Support Section (the Section) in the Compliance Assistance and Outreach Branch may be for you!

We seek a motivated, self-starting person, who highly values teamwork, to join us to further the Section’s mission to educate government and business entities about compliance with regulations to reduce emissions from in-use diesel and other mobile sources, and to promote the use of advanced technologies in commercial applications that support criteria pollutant, and AB32 greenhouse gas emissions, reductions goals. These emissions sources include heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses, and other on-road and off-road mobile sources.

The incumbent will be responsible primarily for designing, developing, and implementing comprehensive outreach campaigns and tools to 1) explain the Advanced Clean Fleet Regulation, and 2) help achieve compliance with other existing regulations, both of which reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants. Such campaigns may include: training presentations or community events, social media and web-based content, or written or video-format outreach materials designed for vehicle owners and operators, public fleet managers, industry representatives, local government representatives, private citizens, and trade groups. The incumbent will need to know, or be able to quickly learn, the regulated industry, vehicle emissions technology, heavy-duty fleet usage patterns, and potential deployment barriers in order to effectively increase awareness of current and future air quality regulations and funding opportunities.

The successful candidate will coordinate extensively with other CARB programs, federal programs, local air district personnel, fleet owners, and other stakeholders, to understand and circulate technical and policy information. This person will also assist with the Branch’s other outreach efforts, including: assisting individual fleets with compliance evaluation and planning in-person, via telephone, or in writing; speaking engagements; workshops; meetings with industry associations; and writing clear and concise technical reports with outreach recommendations. The position may involve approximately 25 percent travel.
