As the only county in the United States named after Martin Luther King, Jr., King County is a vibrant community with residents who represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the artistic and social traditions of many cultures. Together, we're changing the way government delivers service and winning national recognition as a model of excellence. 

We continue to build on an enduring legacy of shared values of equity and social justice, employee engagement, innovative thinking, and continuous improvement. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda aimed at advancing regional change and is developing the systems and standards necessary to achieve better outcomes for all of our residents, regardless of their race or income. All these qualities make this King County one of the nation's best places to live, work, and play. 
 
King County is changing the way we work—improving performance, processes, and service delivery to increase equity and respond to our region's changing needs. 
 
The Executive Climate Office is looking to fill one (1) a program assistant to support implementation of building decarbonization programs and other programs in the Climate Office.    

 

About the Role: 
This role is crucial for supporting the implementation of key building decarbonization and clean energy programs at King County. In this role you will primarily support the expansion of King County’s Energize! program [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/legacy/services/environment/stewardship/sustainable-building/heat-pumps ] but will also support King County’s CPACER program and emerging community transportation electrification initiatives as time allows.   

 

This full-time *term-limited temporary* position will extend through the end of 2025. As this body of work is an emergent but high priority, future job opportunities past this date are possible but not guaranteed. The Program Assistant will report to the Energize! project lead and will collaborate with a team of people working to implement King County’s Strategic Climate Action Plan in the Executive Climate Office. This position will also work closely with internal and external partners working to implement the Energize!, CPACER, and other programs. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who is skilled at working with customers, supporting the development of program systems, and working with a broad range of policy and technical staff, consultants, and contractors. 
 
ABOUT THE OFFICE 

King County established the Executive Climate Office (ECO) to elevate and accelerate Executive Constantine and the County’s commitment, coordination, and ability to deliver on climate action internally and in collaboration with cities and partners. Since being established in 2023, the Executive Climate Office has grown to approximately 20 staff, fellows, and interns, and has secured over $60M in state and federal grants. As part of this office, this position would be supporting a team on the forefront of the King County efforts to reduce GHG emissions, support sustainable and resilient frontline communities and ensure climate preparedness in our communities and infrastructure. There will be multiple opportunities to assist in the operationalizing of the office as well as specific projects that use the power of local government to set and achieve ambitious climate action goals. The Executive Climate Office prioritizes inclusion and justice for all people in County work on climate, with the aim of decreasing disparities in our organization and our communities.
