Professional growth and development opportunities.
A healthy work/life balance to all employees.

The State of Connecticut, Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s (DEEP) mission is to conserve, protect, and improve natural resources and the environment to provide enduring health and welfare as well as making clean, reliable, and affordable energy available for the Connecticut residents and businesses. The agency is also committed to playing a positive role in supporting economic development and job creation in Connecticut as well as fostering a sustainable and prosperous economic future for the state.

Within the Bureau of Air Management (BAM), our mission is to work for clean air to protect human health, safety, and the environment and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Connecticut by implementing regulatory programs and supporting policies to advance clean air and climate change objectives, advance radiation safety, and promote public health. The Bureau consists of four divisions: Planning & Standards, Engineering, Radiation, and Enforcement.

Through this recruitment, the Department is seeking to fill two Engineer Trainee vacancies in the Enforcement Division’s Source Emissions Monitoring Unit.

The Source Emissions Monitoring Unit is responsible for:

Overseeing stack testing of stationary source to assess compliance with emission limitations based upon statutes, regulations, permits, and orders;

Overseeing audits of continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) to assess conformance with applicable performance specifications; and

Initiating enforcement action to address noncompliance with emission limitations and performance specifications.

Under general supervision, the incumbent will receive training on and perform duties relative to the above. The incumbent may perform other duties, as assigned.

This position offers a unique opportunity to join a team committed to the regulatory enforcement of state and federal air quality requirements at stationary air pollution sources throughout the state. Engineer Trainees learn to conduct comprehensive source inspections and to prepare enforcement cases to address noncompliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. Trainees are required to attend formal training classes and to review self-study materials to enhance their knowledge of the principles and practices of air pollution control.

This position will require routine in-state travel to audit stack testing and CEMS audits. This position will require infrequent out-of-state travel for training and to attend regional and national workgroups and conferences.

This position will be located at DEEP Headquarters, at 79 Elm Street, Hartford, CT 06106. This is a full-time, 35 hour per week, Monday-Friday position. The position may include opportunities for a hybrid schedule that includes telework.

Specific programmatic responsibilities and duties include, but are not limited to:

Review and negotiate stack test protocols.
Audit stack test programs to ensure conformance with the applicable test methods and Department/EPA testing guidance and to verify that the air pollution source is operating representatively.
Review test results and verify emission calculations.
Review and negotiate Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) test plans.
Audit RATA test programs to ensure conformance with the applicable test methods and Department/EPA testing guidance and to verify that the air pollution source is operating representatively.
Review RATA results and verify emission calculations.
Review and negotiate CEMS Plans as required by Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies Section 22a-174-4a for sources utilizing CEMS for compliance verification.
Coordinate and conduct investigations, including multimedia environmental investigations, with other divisions within the Department and/or with outside government agencies.
Exercise a thorough understanding of air pollution control principles for all source categories.
Draft and recommend the issuance of Notices of Violation to address violations of federal regulations and state statutes, regulations, permits, and orders.
Coordinate compliance and enforcement activities with staff of the Enforcement Division’s Field Enforcement, Administrative Enforcement, Compliance Analysis and Coordination, and Investigations Units.
Provide comments and feedback on pending permitting matters before the Department.
