Job Overview

SCS is hiring a Technical Specialist I, LCFS that will support the Program Manager in the administration of SCS's low carbon biofuel verification programs, as well as related biofuels programs administered by SCS.

The Technical Specialist I, LCFS will also be trained to support complementary biofuel-related activities, including Oregon Clean Fuels and Colombia's low carbon fuel program.

The primary job responsibility is to audit the low carbon fuel programs operated in California (LCFS) and Canada (Canada Clean Fuels).

The position entails verifying the accuracy and completeness of client reports under the California, Canada, or relevant low carbon fuel regulation being audited. Verification for compliance requires the Technical Specialist I, LCFS 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.
