Duties

As the Climate Pollution Reduction Rulemaking Planner in the Policy and Planning Section, you will project manage and engage with rulemaking and projects that provide the regulatory foundation to ensure a healthy environment for Washingtonians. You’ll be analyzing and developing rules to implement major climate pollution reduction legislation, such as the Motor Vehicle Emissions Standards, Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hydrofluorocarbons Emissions Reduction, Climate Commitment Act, and the Clean Fuels Program.

Work with agency technical experts to understand issues, review options, and develop preliminary draft rule language.
Research and analyze policy and technical issues related to rulemaking to incorporate information into rule proposals to ensure they meet the goals of state law.
Plan and facilitate public meetings and hearings to offer Washington residents the opportunity to interact with rule writers and technical and policy experts and provide input on the development of rules and policies.
Write reports and other materials to relay complex information in a manner best suited for the audience.
Facilitate public meetings, listening to questions and gathering input in a professional manner to ensure all speakers are heard and their ideas considered.
