    The Air Quality Program (AQP) is looking to fill the Senior Environmental Planner, Cap-and-Invest Program and Emissions-Intensive Trade-Exposed Industries (Environmental Planner 5) (In-Training) position. This position will be located at our Headquarters Building in Lacey, WA. Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station.
       
    The mission of the Air Quality Program (AQP) is to protect and improve air quality in Washington and to protect our State’s environment for current and future generations. In 2021, Washington’s Legislature passed the landmark Climate Commitment Act (CCA) – a sweeping piece of legislation that directs Ecology to develop and implement the state’s first Cap-and-Invest Program and commits our state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 95% by 2050.
     
    Washington’s Cap-and-Invest program is only the second such economy-wide program in the nation, and Ecology has been directed by the Legislature to have it up and running by January 1, 2023. It’s a big task with even bigger long-term impacts on the state’s greenhouse gas emissions and the global fight against climate change. Air Quality’s CCA Implementation Group is hard at work and looking to hire a diverse range of mission-focused professionals to help us bring this important legislation to life.
     
     In this role, you will be the agency’s lead expert in emissions-intensive and trade-exposed industries (EITEs) as part of the State’s Cap-and-Invest program while furthering policy and statutory objectives and ensuring a successful program. This position will coordinate the design and development of key policies and guidance on EITEs and the auction and market program, which is a top priority of the agency, Legislature, and Governor’s Office.

    Please Note: This is a project position that is funded until June, 2027. The Funding for this position has a high probability of being renewed for the next bi-annual budget.

    The William D. Ruckelshaus Center seeks an experienced and visionary leader to serve as the next Director. Inspired by the life and legacy of William D. “Bill” Ruckelshaus, the Center envisions a future in which government leaders, policy makers, and community members routinely employ tools of collaborative decision making to design, conduct, and implement successful public policy processes. Representing a committed partnership between Washington State University and the University of Washington, the Ruckelshaus Center builds on the unique strengths of the two universities to assist public, non-profit, tribal, private sector, and other community leaders in their efforts to build consensus-based solutions, resolve conflict, and create positive impact around vexing public policy issues.

    The Center combines a mix of practice-based consensus-building and academic scholarship to design and advance collaborative problem solving processes to address public policy issues, opportunities, and conflicts. The Center’s involvement in both process design and impartial facilitation improves public policy development and program implementation in the Pacific Northwest region to positively impact Washington residents. This work has been done with individuals, groups, and organizations across communities, stakeholders, and various levels of government to address challenges in the economic development, land use, natural resources, transportation, agriculture, healthcare, and other significant public policy areas. The Center also advances the teaching, outreach, and research missions of the two universities by helping to bring deeper knowledge of statewide, regional, and community policy issues to the universities. The Center builds capacity for problem solving by developing relationships across sectors and industries, conducting evaluative projects, providing student internships, and by actively participating in national associations with similar collaborative governance vision and goals.

    The next Director of the William D. Ruckelshaus Center will join the Center at an opportune moment. Seated at the convergence of higher education, government, and other public and private institutions, the Center has the power to harness immense knowledge that drives mutually beneficial outcomes. Over its 18-year history the Center has earned a strong reputation as a valuable state and regional resource and as a leading hub of consensus building on complex policy issues. It is poised to have increased, sustained impact in regional and national communities through heightened visibility, increased extramural funding, and a compelling strategic vision rooted in collaborative governance and intersectional public service. The next Director will bolster the resources and operations of the Center, crafting the environment and vision for the next generation of work. As the nation faces widespread discord and polarization, the next Director will lead the Center in setting a powerful example for bringing people together and creating mutually agreeable solutions for the public good. This model has the potential to be expanded and replicated from the fascinating laboratory of Washington state to the rest of the country. To be successful, the Director will need to address the following key opportunities and challenges:

    • Enhance and elevate the Center’s visibility and impact across the region
    • Further leverage the full capacity of WSU and UW
    • Lead complex, boundary-crossing facilitation and process building across sectors
    • Develop and implement key trainings that expand the breadth and depth of collaborative processes among leaders in the Pacific Northwest
    • Expand and diversify financial resources in support of the Center’s mission
    • Foster and deepen a strong sense of community, diversity, equity, and inclusion within the Center
    • Leverage Washington state as a national model for collaborative governance

    Screening of complete applications will begin immediately and continue until the completion of the search process. Inquiries, nominations, and CVs with cover letters should be below. Electronic submission of materials is required.
