The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) is Nova Scotia's most 
established non-profit, community environmental organization.
Our activities include, but are not limited to, transportation, 
marine, wilderness, urban issues, sustainable food production, 
alternative energy, salt marsh restoration, and coastal land 
protection and public access.

The Transportation Issues Committee is seeking an outgoing, 
organized and goal-oriented person to fill the position of 
Vehicle Scrappage Project Coordinator.

The vehicle scrappage program is designed to improve air 
quality by encouraging owners of pre-1994, higher polluting 
vehicles to scrap their vehicles in favour of cleaner forms 
of transportation.  An incentive program is part of the project 
and will motivate owners to retire their vehicles in favor of 
alternatives, including public transit, cycling, walking, car 
pooling.  Another component of the program is to educate the 
public on the environmental, social, and health impacts of car 
emissions.

The Project Coordinator is responsible for implementing and 
managing the vehicle scrappage program within the greater 
Halifax Regional Municipality.

Specific duties are to: 

- Negotiate with partners and finalize the incentive program.
- Develop and implement communications campaigns.
- Meet project goals of retiring 500 cars per year for two years.
- Ensure appropriate practices of removal and disposal of early 
  retired vehicles.
- Manage the program within a defined budget.
- Develop contacts and work with existing scrappage programs 
  elsewhere in the country.
- Facilitate networking and support between other related programs 
  (both internal and external to EAC).
- Attend monthly Transportation Committee meetings.
- Contribute to and work within the EAC organization.

Skills Required

- University degree in business, marketing or environmental science.
- Marketing, communications, advertising experience.
- Solid entrepreneurial skills.
- Financial skills and experience managing a budget.
- Project management experience.
- Strong communication skills (listening, oral, written); ability to 
  write for a variety of audiences.
- Planning and organization skills (manage priorities, complete 
  action plans, work independently with minimal supervision).
- Personal skills (team oriented, energetic, motivated, outgoing, 
  friendly, conscientious).
- Creativity and ability to take initiative.

Skills Desired

- Ability to think laterally and see opportunities for integration
between
  this project and the TRAX program.
- Environmentally concerned with knowledge of environmental issues.
- Familiar with the local community and local agencies.
- Experience working or volunteering for a non-profit group.

The position will begin January 3, 2005 and the contract 
continues until March 2007.

Salary:  $17/hour; 35 hours per week.

TO APPLY

Applications are due December 10, 2004.  Send resume and a cover 
letter to eac@ecologyaction.ca   Only those selected for an interview
