Additionally, SFO has goals to enhance healthy indoor environments and decrease water use by 2030. Since 2011, SFO has reported its campus-wide Scope 1 & 2 (airport-controlled), Scope 3 (airport-influenced) emissions within its Climate Action Plans in support of SFO’s net zero carbon 2030 goal. By moving the campus towards a low- carbon intensity, SFO will demonstrate to the City of San Francisco, aviation industry, and building sector that net zero at multiple scales is both possible and worthwhile.

The Net Zero Carbon Lead will focus on delivering the airport’s Zero Carbon Strategic Goal. This position reports to the Energy Program Manager through which the function collects, analyzes and reports upon SFO’s campus-wide, building-specific and ground transportation’s related electricity, natural gas, water, waste and fuels to forecast, report and ensure compliance with City, County and State requirements and support campus-wide awareness and prioritization of operational efficiency projects in support of SFO’s triple net zero goals.

• Assemble, track, and earmark campus-wide utility consumption (water, gas, electricity, solar generation) for trends and inconsistencies through which to focus abatement projects.
• Plan for and lead the implementation of capital and/or operations projects through management, analytics, scheduling, stakeholder engagement, and budgeting as needed.

• Collaborate closely with other departments to develop, operate and maintain landside and airside transportation decarbonization assets (electric vehicle & ground support equipment chargers and ground power units) through inventories, analytics, coordination, site visits, policy and program development.
