Pams Monitoring Specialist Jobs

The Air Quality Surveillance Branch (AQSB) of the Monitoring and Laboratory Division (MLD) has an opening for a highly motivated Staff Air Pollution Specialist (SAPS) to serve as the lead staff person to oversee the complete development of CARB’s mandated ozone precursor (PAMS) monitoring program. Duties will focus around the ground-floor development and implementation of a robust program commensurate with the greater PAMS monitoring community.

Working within the Branch, the SAPS will apply scientific methods and principles to conduct seasonal PAMS ambient air monitoring in support of CARB's air pollution programs. Incumbents: design, use, and evaluate air monitoring procedures; collect air samples and monitoring data; operate, maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot air monitoring equipment, conduct and evaluate the air monitoring programs; and understand and comply with both Federal and State air quality monitoring requirements.

Incumbents may also represent CARB in various joint operations, group presentations, share technical expertise, answer inquiries, prepare project protocols and project reports, and be responsible to correspond both internally and outside CARB. To additionally support the agency's mission and goals, the APS will work with management, PAMS workgroups and manufacturers to evaluate new technologies and practices to improve ambient monitoring capabilities to qualify/quantify the extent of precursor pollutants in the ambient air. This is a rare opportunity to create a high-profile program incorporating state-of-the art technology from the ground up, establishing the template for future deployments.

The home office for this position will be in Fresno, California.
