JOB
OPEN UNTIL FILLED
Led by a Board of Directors made up of elected officials from each of the 24 cities and towns and the five county supervisorial districts, San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) staff is focused primarily on freeway, interchange, and transit enhancements to the region that first and foremost benefit the taxpayer of San Bernardino County. Coupling that effort with various non-transportation related objectives from the Council of Governments role of the agency brings the mission of providing quality of life improvements to the residents, business operators, and commuters of our region to the forefront.
For more than four decades, SBCTA (previously known as SANBAG) has taken pride in delivering on its commitment to the voters through the implementation of Measure I. This half-cent sales tax that generates transportation dollars that are from the region and for the region is a critical element in the agency's goal to keep people and goods moving effectively. SBCTA calls the historic San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot home. Our headquarters not only positions the agency in the heart of the county, but is symbolic of our longstanding commitment to transportation.

The I-REN Program is on the front lines of promoting energy efficiency in three sectors: public sector building efficiency upgrades, workforce development, and codes & standards training. The San Bernardino Council of Governments (SBCOG) is working with the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) and Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) to implement these programs throughout the Inland Empire. In San Bernardino County this involves working with 24 member cities and the County of San Bernardino to bring energy efficiency improvements especially into disadvantaged communities.

The current I-REN Business Plan is accessible on the SBCTA/SBCOG website at: https://www.gosbcta.com/plan/inland-regional-energy-network-i-ren/, and provides substantial information on the structure and scope of the I-REN Program. It should be noted that I-REN is funded with revenue derived from the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) Public Service Surcharge on utility bills and program funding is renewed through a new business plan submission every eight years with budget updates every four years. I-REN has already submitted their 2028-2035 business plan for CPUC review and is expecting to receive approval for the 2028-2032 budget in late 2026.
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives general supervision from the Chief of Air Quality and Mobility Programs and daily supervision from the Energy Program Manager. Exercises no supervision of staff.
Class Characteristics
This is the entry-level classification in the Management Analyst series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform technical and analytical duties while learning SBCTA policies and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
