The Montana Department of Environmental Quality is hiring an Air Quality Monitoring Coordinator for DEQ’s Air Research and Monitoring Section.
The team installs, operates and maintains Montana’s statewide ambient air monitoring network. Data produced is analyzed and reported in fulfillment of three primary objectives:
1. To provide air pollution data to the public in a timely manner.
2. To support compliance with national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and emissions strategy development.
3. To support air pollution research studies.
The Air Quality Monitoring Program works in conjunction with federal, state, tribal and local agencies, industries, and the public. Data collected provides an empirical basis for air quality management efforts at the state and national level; it informs regulatory reform, decision-making and is used to track statewide air quality changes and trends.
Applications are due Jan. 17.
