Job Description

The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of high-quality drinking water, managing wastewater and storm water, and reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country, with nearly 6,000 employees. DEP's water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the system’s 2,000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City.

The Bureau of Engineering Design & Construction (BEDC) currently has a portfolio of capital projects valued at $23.8B, and another $10.5B projected over the next 10-year commitment plan. The projects BEDC implements allows DEP as a whole to continue to operate and maintain an exemplary water supply system.

Our Water System Capital Program (WSCP) oversees planning, design, construction management, and construction to support the upgrading and state of good repair of the Bureau of Water Supply’s critical infrastructure. BEDC delivers a substantial multibillion dollar capital program as required to provide for new infrastructure as well as the reconstruction of existing assets to ensure the integrity, continuity, and high quality of the water supply. This work spans the DEP’s vast network of wastewater treatment plants, dams, bridges, shafts, reservoirs, tunnels, pumping stations, ultraviolet disinfection system, filtration systems, and associated facilities throughout New York City and its watershed.

BEDC seeks to hire an Administrative Construction Project Manager M2 to be an Accountable Manager (AM) for the Bypass Tunnel and Gilboa Programs. One of the primary ongoing projects is the repair of the Rondout West Branch Tunnel (RWBT) which is currently leaking up to 35 million gallons per day. Construction has begun to bypass a portion of the RWBT with a bypass tunnel. The Bypass Project Engineering Support (BPES) contract is providing technical engineering design support for all aspects of the bypass tunnel. Two projects are monitoring the impacts that the tunnel repair may have. The Roseton Ground Monitoring (RGM) project will ensure the repair of the RWBT and the resulting new ground water regime will not impact neighboring major infrastructure. The Environmental Impact Statement Commitments (EISCOM) project will monitor ground water and the potential impacts to residential wells and vegetation. Another project carried out by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) but administered by BEDC is monitoring the ground water and performing scientific research on aqueduct leaks in other areas.

Under the direction of the Portfolio Manager, the AM will manage RGM, EISCOM, BPES, and the USGS contract, or other future upstate capital projects. S/he will also provide quality review for other upstate projects including those in Gilboa. The AM will ensure that the projects are managed to meet safety, schedule, budget, client and quality commitments in accordance with best practices. S/he will ensure that the projects are managed in accordance with all BEDC Standard Operating Procedures. The AM will use the enterprise Project Management Information System (ePMIS) and PASSPort for the majority of the projects. S/he will also participate in design and design services during construction activities to support design related efforts. The AM will mentor subordinate staff and work to develop and maintain a strong partnering environment amongst all internal and external stakeholders.
