From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon's Air, Water, Spill and Launch (AWSL) Team under the Environmental Assurance and Protection (EAP) group is seeking a motivated and experienced Senior Program Manager for mobile source emissions, Air Quality & Water compliance. This role is responsible for developing and/or improving scalable compliance frameworks and enabling field solutions related to mobile source emission standards, stationary source air quality compliance, and water management, including wastewater, stormwater and drinking water.
The breadth of compliance shall include all applicable federal, country, state, provincial, and local regulations.
The ideal candidate will have a strong knowledge of stationary air emission sources, stormwater, wastewater, and drinking water as well as mobile source emission regulations with a strong emphasis on state requirements such as Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) and idling restrictions; California’s Clean Truck Check (CTC) Program, Truck and Bus Regulation (TBR), Transport Refrigeration Units (TRU), Off Road Large Spark Engine Fleets, and SCAQMD Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions (WAIRE) Program.
The candidate will be able to evaluate emerging regulations related to mobile source emissions in collaboration with public policy and fleet segments to ensure compliance with primary and third party operations; and applicable air quality and water regulations for general warehousing and storage, printing, pharmacy and transportation businesses.
This role will initially focus on mobile source emissions in the United States but will expand to build a scalable program that can be implemented in other Amazon regions.
