We do this by developing and implementing highly impactful policies and programs, establishing Colorado as a leading state for climate action. A critical strategy to reduce emissions in Colorado is electrifying the transportation sector - cars, trucks, buses, and bicycles. Colorado has the fifth highest market share for electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, but we have a long way to go to reach our goal of 940,000 EVs on the road by 2030. To achieve this aggressive goal, we provide direct funding for installation of charging stations across Colorado, so drivers can get anywhere in the state in an EV. We support incentives to purchase an EV, we advocate for improved electricity rates that make it cheaper to own an EV, and we provide education and technical support to consumers and fleets on the environmental and financial benefits of EVs. Thanks to State and Federal legislation, Colorado has received a significant amount of funding to accelerate transportation electrification. This presents a unique opportunity for the successful candidate to use this funding to make real and measurable change. This position will be part of the Infrastructure Team, a subset of the Transportation team, which is leading development of a statewide charging network, making it easier for Coloradans to go electric. The position will work closely with team members to scale up existing grant programs while looking for ways to innovate in order to remain responsive to a rapidly evolving electric vehicle market. This position will primarily focus on the Flee-ZERO program, a successful and impactful charging infrastructure grant program implementing both State and Federal funding. The position will also be responsible for participating in other charging infrastructure grant programs offered by the Energy Office in various capacities. CEO is committed to increasing the diversity of our staff and providing culturally responsive programs and services. Therefore, we encourage responses from people of diverse backgrounds and abilities. The State of Colorado strives to create a Colorado for All by building and maintaining workplaces that value and respect all Coloradans through a commitment to equal opportunity and hiring based on merit and fitness. The State is resolute in non-discriminatory practices in everything we do, including hiring, employment, and advancement opportunities.
