WildEarth Guardians
Southwest Conservation Advocate
WildEarth Guardians
WildEarth Guardians is seeking a full-time advocate in our Wild Places Program to advance a new paradigm of forest management and protection based on the growing body of science that demonstrates trees work cooperatively through symbiotic relationships between fungi and plants, which create shared mycorrhizal networks. These networks operate as a single organism connected by infinite biological pathways that allow trees to communicate and interact in intelligent ways, often described as ‘forest wisdom,’ which supports Traditional Ecological Knowledge and beliefs long held by Indigenous Peoples. The science, both new and old, make it clear that forests themselves have the intelligence and capacity for self healing and adaptation to new climate regimes.    In this position, the SW Advocate will be responsible for helping develop and advance new policies and protections for national forests in the southwestern US by promoting the concepts of “forest wisdom” throughout the region and increasing support for our forest protection work among a broad array of communities and interests. In addition, the SW Advocate will help develop and implement a communications plan to engage the general public, target audiences and media to broaden the reach of our forest wisdom message.  Importantly, the SW Advocate will also help integrate forest wisdom concepts into WildEarth Guardian’s ReWilding work, which seeks to improve the ecological integrity of national forest lands by advocating for the protection and restoration of important fish & wildlife habitat, connectivity, and climate change refugia. Specifically, the SW Advocate will track and engage in priority U.S. Forest Service projects and plans in the region. In addition to  meeting with agency officials and crafting technical comments, often in conjunction with partners, the SW Advocate will coordinate with our WildPlaces attorney to help  develop litigation when necessary. Ultimately, the SW Advocate will work to ensure forest ecosystems will be respected and managed responsibly and sustainably; that the natural and human environment is restored to the benefit of all people and living things; and that frontline communities do not bear disproportionate risks of environmental harm.

Washington State Department of Ecology
Climate Change: Cap-and-Invest Market Planner (2 positions)
Washington State Department of Ecology Lacey, WA
Per Governor Inslee’s  Proclamation 21-14.2   (Download PDF reader) , Washington State employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination as part of the hiring process, prior to their start date. Requests for medical and religious exemptions will be considered. If you have questions, please contact  Careers@ecy.wa.gov  with “ COVID-19 vaccination ” in the subject line.     Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen The   Air Quality Program   (AQP) is looking to fill   two Cap-and-Invest Market Planner (Environmental Planner 2) (In-Training) positions.   Both positions will be located at our Headquarters Building in   Lacey, WA   subject to Ecology’s telework policy. During  Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recovery,  employees are working a combination of in-office and/or telework based on position and business need.   This position is not currently required to work in the office on a regular basis . Ecology is following current state guidance regarding mask requirements, health screening questions before entry, and social distancing. Looking ahead, Ecology has recently updated the agency policies on telework and flexible and compressed work schedules. Applicants with questions about position location options, telework, and flexible or compressed schedules are encouraged to reach out to the contact person listed below in “other information.” Please Note:  This is a project position that is funded until  June 30, 2027 .    The Funding for this position has a high probability of being renewed for the next bi-annual budget.   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.  Washington is in the process of building an economy-wide cap and invest program, and Air Quality’s newly created Climate Commitment Act Implementation Group is leading the design and implementation of this program.  As part of the cap and invest program, businesses and entities will be required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded.  This market will begin in 2023, and the proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice.      In supporting   the unit’s work on allowance trading and entity education, you will help ensure firms can effectively participate in the cap-and-invest marketplace. By helping firms get comfortable with this new market and how it works, you’ll enable them to devote their time and resources to decarbonization - helping Washington achieve its goal of total carbon neutrality by 2050.    In supporting the unit’s work on auctions, you will help coordinate and implement allowance auctions that firms participate in to meet their emissions compliance obligations. These auctions are the linchpin of the cap-and-invest program and generate significant proceeds that are applied towards the decarbonization of the transportation industry, improving access to clean energy, and advancing health equity and environmental justice.    In this role, you will support the work of two staff leads in the cap-and-invest Auctions and Market Unit. One staff lead is focused on allowance trading and entity education, and the other lead is focused on allowance auctions. The Auctions and Market Unit helps bring companies into the cap-and-invest program, facilitates allowance auctions and trading, and safeguards the cap-and-invest program’s integrity through ongoing market surveillance. You will also be involved in outreach to similar programs in other jurisdictions (e.g., California and Québec), external agencies, stakeholders, and the Western Climate Initiative, Inc. For more details on job duties and qualifications, please see below. Protecting Washington State's environment for current and future generations is what we do every day at Ecology. We are a culture that is invested in making a difference. Join a team that is highly effective and collaborative, with leadership that embraces the value of people. Ecology cares deeply about employee wellness; we go beyond traditional benefits, proudly offering: A healthy life/work balance by offering flexible schedules and telework options for most positions.

Per Governor Inslee’s  Proclamation 21-14.2   (Download PDF reader) , Washington State employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination as part of the hiring process, prior to their start date. Requests for medical and religious exemptions will be considered. If you have questions, please contact  Careers@ecy.wa.gov  with “ COVID-19 vaccination ” in the subject line.     Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen The   Air Quality Program   (AQP) is looking to fill   two Cap-and-Invest Market Planner (Environmental Planner 2) (In-Training) positions.   Both positions will be located at our Headquarters Building in   Lacey, WA   subject to Ecology’s telework policy. During  Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recovery,  employees are working a combination of in-office and/or telework based on position and business need.   This position is not currently required to work in the office on a regular basis . Ecology is following current state guidance regarding mask requirements, health screening questions before entry, and social distancing. Looking ahead, Ecology has recently updated the agency policies on telework and flexible and compressed work schedules. Applicants with questions about position location options, telework, and flexible or compressed schedules are encouraged to reach out to the contact person listed below in “other information.” Please Note:  This is a project position that is funded until  June 30, 2027 .    The Funding for this position has a high probability of being renewed for the next bi-annual budget.   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.  Washington is in the process of building an economy-wide cap and invest program, and Air Quality’s newly created Climate Commitment Act Implementation Group is leading the design and implementation of this program.  As part of the cap and invest program, businesses and entities will be required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded.  This market will begin in 2023, and the proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice.      In supporting   the unit’s work on allowance trading and entity education, you will help ensure firms can effectively participate in the cap-and-invest marketplace. By helping firms get comfortable with this new market and how it works, you’ll enable them to devote their time and resources to decarbonization - helping Washington achieve its goal of total carbon neutrality by 2050.    In supporting the unit’s work on auctions, you will help coordinate and implement allowance auctions that firms participate in to meet their emissions compliance obligations. These auctions are the linchpin of the cap-and-invest program and generate significant proceeds that are applied towards the decarbonization of the transportation industry, improving access to clean energy, and advancing health equity and environmental justice.    In this role, you will support the work of two staff leads in the cap-and-invest Auctions and Market Unit. One staff lead is focused on allowance trading and entity education, and the other lead is focused on allowance auctions. The Auctions and Market Unit helps bring companies into the cap-and-invest program, facilitates allowance auctions and trading, and safeguards the cap-and-invest program’s integrity through ongoing market surveillance. You will also be involved in outreach to similar programs in other jurisdictions (e.g., California and Québec), external agencies, stakeholders, and the Western Climate Initiative, Inc. For more details on job duties and qualifications, please see below. Protecting Washington State's environment for current and future generations is what we do every day at Ecology.
