Serves as a subject matter expert on the pollutant emissions inventory system. This position provides guidance, direction, and instruction for successful application of these systems to staff and upper management throughout the program through the application of scientific principles of the environmental sciences. The position completes projects of both short and long term to solve problems encountered when solutions are not available through already established mechanisms within the unit.

Job Duties:
Database Systems Design
The position, in conjunction with other units and staff within the program, oversees the design and implementation of new database systems and new functionality of existing systems using the application of environmental science principals to improve the utilization of program resources. This duty involves transmitting information from the end user to the contractor, Office of Information Technology or APCD Technology staff so that all parties understand what is needed from the data systems. This job duty involves slight modification and review of code, which in turn requires sufficient knowledge of the computer languages used in order to be able to accurately and efficiently explain our needs and identify weaknesses in the code structure.
Coordinate Data System Maintenance and Development
Coordinates the maintenance and development of Colorado's Stationary Source Program's air emissions data management systems with a third party developer, such that it is consistent with OIT policies and procedures. This broad requirement includes current systems and tools such as the CACTIS, PTS, CBS and OPIE systems as well as the Information Query used to support data analysis and management needs. On a broad scale, this position ensures that Stationary Source Program data system requirements are met, the data system adequately interfaces with EPA's data systems to upload required information, plans for the necessary maintenance and upgrades, and ensures that all programming bugs are tracked and fixed in a timely manner.
Oversees the invoicing, and complaint response to the annual fees collected from these emissions, including working with accounting to ensure proper communication between the SSP data system and the accounting data system (CORE). This position works with the fiscal group to ensure that accounts reconcile between the SSP system and the accounting system, and address errors or inconsistencies between the systems. Maintain and update, as needed, a working knowledge of APCD invoicing practices and procedures in order to provide informed responses to inquiries from internal and external stakeholders. This position also serves as part of a team to provide coverage as necessary for a variety of billing-related technical and support functions.

The position, in conjunction with other units and staff within the program, supports the design & implementation of new database system functionalities and workflow processes to improve the effectiveness of program resources. This duty involves transmitting information from the end-user to the supervisor so that both parties understand what is needed from the data systems and workflow processes. This job duty may involve testing of software as it is presented by the contractor and relaying any anomalies or problems that are encountered with the development (test) system to the supervisor and contractor so that issues are addressed before the software is placed into production. This job duty also frequently requires formulating innovative solutions to unique problems by utilizing existing resources in creative or alternative ways to reach a resolution that aligns with the Division's overall mission. This position evaluates the relevance and importance of theories, concepts and principles of air pollution, in conjunction with APCD procedural needs, in order to tailor an approach that satisfies work demands as well as scientific foundations.
Data Reporting, Inventory QA/QC & Calculations and Corrections
Monitors emission inventory for anomalies and inspects facility information to either make corrections or confirm the existing data status. Works with immediate supervisor to do "back-door" corrections to data when the user's front end is not a practical, efficient option.
