Job Overview
The primary job responsibility is to audit the California Air Resources Board regulation for the mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, codified in Subchapter 10, Article 2, sections 9500-95157 of title 17 of the California Code of Regulations and applicable portions of 40 CFR Part 98. The LCFS applies to fuels used for transportation, including gasoline, diesel, and their alternatives. The goal of the LCFS is to systematically reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of the transportation fuel used or produced in California each year. The LCFS is administered by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which as of 2020 requires that annual reporting requirements are verified by independent third parties like SCS Global Services.
SCS is hiring a Technical Associate II that will support the Technical Specialist in the administration of SCS’s LCFS biofuel verification programs, as well as related biofuels programs administered by SCS. The position primarily entails field auditing for clients hiring SCS to verify compliance with California’s LCFS program in North America. The LCFS Technical Associate II will also be trained to support complementary biofuel-related activities, including Oregon Clean Fuels and Canada Clean Fuels regulations.
The position entails verifying the accuracy and completeness of client reports under California law that are submitted to CARB under the LCFS program. Verification for compliance requires the Technical Associate II to assess the implementation of program standards, analysis of processing and programmatic data, in-person assessment of manufacturing operations and related data management systems, interviews of relevant staff in charge of relevant data and submissions, and prompt and professional customer service for both clients and SCS colleagues.
