Environmental Justice Planner (Environmental Planner 4)

As the first-ever Environmental Justice Planner for the Climate Pollution Reduction Program (CPRP), you will lead critical efforts to plan, analyze, and set the direction for the program’s environmental justice compliance and priorities. You will be both a planner and a collaborator, working with our program staff, Ecology’s Office of Equity and Environmental Justice (OEEJ), statewide workgroups, Tribal staff and organizations, and community members.

You will be responsible for advancing and integrating environmental justice obligations and equity strategies across the program, in alignment with Washington’s HEAL Act and Title VI nondiscrimination compliance obligations. You’ll work closely with Ecology’s OEEJ to implement various activities involving environmental justice performance management, tracking and reporting.

In addition, you’ll support community engagement and Tribal consultation on important issues in climate policy. You will have the unique opportunity to lead CPRP’s Environmental Justice (EJ) analyses and assessments, develop and share best practices with program staff and other EJ planners across Ecology, and be a part of reducing climate pollution and serving and connecting with communities across Washington.
