Position Details

Opening for a full-time intern from May through August 2024. The candidate will work directly with an Accredited Lead Verifier under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Cap-and-Trade programs of California, Oregon, and Washington State. The position entails auditing of emissions data reports of facilities and entities with large GHG emissions. For example: pulp and paper mills, dairy production facilities, transportation fuel suppliers, glass manufacturing plants, semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Reported emissions determine the reporter’s financial obligation under the cap-and-trade program of their respective state, programs for combatting climate change. Reported product data (e.g. paperboard and market pulp, dairy products, glass, hydrogen) will also be audited. The candidate may also participate in auditing of reports associated with alternative fuel producers and importers under California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program (e.g. renewable diesel from low-carbon feedstocks and renewable natural gas from dairy manure).

This is a challenging position that requires attention to detail and effective communication with supervisor. The ideal candidate will work under direct supervision of the Lead Verifier to audit report content and report on findings per regulatory requirements under the cap-and-trade programs.

One week of travel to a subset of facilities may be included for experiential learning and enhanced engagement in the full verification process. This is optional depending on the candidate’s interest, experience, and availability.

The candidate’s supervisor is located in Iowa City, Iowa, is a registered Professional Engineer in the States of California and Minnesota and is an accredited Lead Verifier for all report and application types under California, Oregon, and Washington’s cap-and-trade and clean fuels programs.
