Since 1984, SCS Global Services has been a pioneer and leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification, working across the economy in the natural resources, built environment, food and agriculture, consumer products, and climate sectors. Partnering with companies, government agencies, NGOs, and stakeholders, we are striving to advance sustainable development goals through independent assessment, the application of sound science, and innovative solutions.

Job Overview
SCS is hiring a Technical Specialist I, LCFS that will support the Program Manager in the administration of SCS's low carbon biofuel verification programs, as well as related biofuels programs administered by SCS. The position primarily entails field auditing for clients hiring SCS to verify compliance with California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and Canada's CFR programs in North America. The Technical Specialist I, LCFS will also be trained to support complementary biofuel-related activities, including Oregon Clean Fuels and Colombia's low carbon fuel program.
The primary job responsibility is to audit the low carbon fuel programs operated in California (LCFS) and Canada (Canada Clean Fuels). These regulations are designed to systematically reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of the transportation fuels used or produced in each jurisdiction each year. Both programs require that annual reporting requirements for biofuels used for transportation are verified by independent third parties like SCS Global Services.
The position entails verifying the accuracy and completeness of client reports under the California, Canada, or relevant low carbon fuel regulation being audited. Verification for compliance requires the Technical Specialist I, LCFS to assess the implementation of program standards, analysis of processing and programmatic data, in-person assessment of manufacturing operations and related data management systems, interviews of relevant staff in charge of relevant data and submissions, and prompt and professional customer service for both clients and SCS colleagues.
