Senior Data Scientist, Reliability

Bay Area Air Quality Management District

<div><div><div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Description</b></h2></div><br>
<p></p><div><br>
<br>
<br>
Join an agency committed to creating a healthy breathing environment for every Bay Area resident while protecting and improving public health, air quality, and the global climate!<br>
<br>
The Bay Area Air District (Air District) is a regional government agency, committed to achieving clean air to protect the public's health and the environment. The Air District accomplishes this goal through regulation of industrial facilities and various outreach and incentive programs designed to encourage clean air choices.<br>
<br>
The Air District's jurisdiction encompasses all of seven counties - Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Napa, and portions of two others - southwestern Solano and southern Sonoma.<br>
<br>
At the Air District, we take pride in our commitment to fostering a workplace that values diversity and promotes cultural awareness. We prioritize employee engagement by providing a collaborative and inclusive environment that encourages active participation and open dialogue. Additionally, we believe in pay equity and strive to create an equitable compensation structure. With a strong emphasis on work-life balance, we understand the importance of supporting our employees' well-being both inside and outside the workplace. Join us in a dynamic and inclusive culture where your contributions are celebrated, and your growth is nurtured.<br>
<br>
<b>The Air District is recruiting for the position of Assistant Counsel I/II in the Legal Division. This is an open recruitment for one (1) full-time, exempt, management position.</b><br>
<br>
<b>The Air District is also recruiting for the Staff Attorney (Grants &amp; Contracts) position concurrently with this recruitment for the Assistant Counsel I/II position. Applicants may apply to one or both positions at the same time.</b><br>
<br>
<b>About the Position</b><br>
The Bay Area Air District is seeking an experienced enforcement attorney to join our legal team as Assistant Counsel in the Office of General Counsel. The Air District has recently expanded its enforcement focus, assessing over $110 million in penalties last year aimed at holding violators accountable and deterring future non-compliance. We invest the penalty funds collected back into the communities impacted by the violations under a groundbreaking equity-focused community benefit policy adopted by our Board of Directors in 2024. We are looking to expand our team with a creative and dynamic civil prosecutor with a passion for achieving justice for the Bay Area communities most impacted by air pollution.<br>
<br>
This position will focus primarily on enforcement of air quality violations, including cases seeking civil penalties and/or injunctive relief before the Air District's administrative Hearing Board and in Superior Court. Experience prosecuting or defending such cases under air quality or other environmental laws is highly desirable, although an experienced civil prosecutor with a background in other similar enforcement contexts would also be ideal for this position.<br>
<br>
In addition to enforcement work, the position will also provide legal advice, counseling and representation on related legal issues arising under local, state and federal air pollution laws and regulations, including air quality permitting, development of new regulations, California Environmental Quality Act issues, administrative law issues, and civil rights compliance, among others.<br>
<br>
Many of the most pressing air quality issues the Bay Area faces relate to disproportionate air pollution burdens in historically disadvantaged communities, so experience and familiarity with environmental justice issues is highly desirable.<br>
<br>
<b>About the Division</b><br>
The Legal Division provides a wide array of legal services to support the entire Air District, including handling enforcement cases; advising on the California Environmental Quality Act, AB617 Community Emission Reduction Plans, contracts, grants, and finance matters; developing regulatory language; supporting the permitting program; reviewing records under the Public Records Act; and staying abreast of current legal developments in air quality throughout California and nationwide. The Division utilizes a variety of tools to resolve enforcement actions, such as abatement orders, civil enforcement, and coordinating with other enforcement agencies, like local district attorneys or the state Attorney General.
