AIR RESOURCES SUPERVISOR I

This position can be located in Sacramento or Riverside County. 
 

The Innovative Heavy-Duty Incentives Branch implements heavy-duty incentive projects that equitably transform the transportation, agriculture, and freight sectors to the cleanest technologies possible, improve the well-being and quality of life for all Californians, and spur and support competitive markets.
