Current job openings

There are no job openings right now.  If you are interested in working for our agency, keep your eyes peeled for openings that do arise from time to time.

What kinds of people work at the Clean Air Agency?

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is a multi-county regulatory agency. We are currently a staff of 72 people. Our staff is comprised of air pollution scientists, engineers, inspectors, as well as computer specialists, meteorologists and technicians that maintain air quality monitoring equipment. We have small communications, human resources, legal services, records management and accounting departments. There are various administration and customer service positions throughout the agency.

How does the agency announce job openings?

We will always advertise any job openings in the Sunday edition of the Seattle Times/Post-Intelligencer. Or, if it is more convenient for you, check this web site for new postings and information about how to apply. We do not have an application packet, rather we ask for a cover letter and resume.

What happens when I have applied for a job?

We will send a postcard confirming that we received your resume. We screen resumes for qualifications that match our job requirements. We select a group -- usually no more than 20 -- to review further. Typically, we call a smaller group (12-15 at most) to a first round interview. For every position, we form a selection team consisting of managers and key agency staff. Final applicants will be interviewed by this group. The executive director approves all final recommendations. The process, from start to finish, usually takes 45-60 days.

Can I send in a resume even if there are no new job postings?

We prefer to accept resumes when we have a specific job opening.  Please check this web site for new openings or your Sunday Seattle Times/Seattle Post-Intelligencer employment section.

Does the agency hire interns?

Due to budgetary restraints, we rarely hire interns.
