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 Wastewater Treatment (BWT) is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all facilities related to the treatment of sewage within the five boroughs of the city. This includes 14 wastewater treatment plants, sludge dewatering facilities, collections facilities (pumping stations, combined sewer overflow retention facilities, regulators, tide gates, etc.), wastewater laboratories and harbor vessels.

Collections facilities include, but are not limited to, 96 wastewater and stormwater pumping stations, four (4) Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) facilities, wastewater and stormwater forcemains between pump stations and/or sewer connections, sludge forcemains between Wastewater Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRFs), approximately 500 regulators, tide gates, tide gate chambers, and approximately 140 miles of interceptor's sewers.
The posted position resides within the Collections Support Division of the Project Delivery Directorate and primarily entails the planning, coordination and oversight of the delivery of several assignments and projects to support the continuous operation of collections facilities and linear assets.

Job Purpose:
The Civil Engineer, either directly or through a staff of project managers, inspectors and/or other technical/administrative staff, directs and coordinates the oversight of the design and
construction of various projects of low to moderate size and complexity. These projects are primarily related to the wastewater collections facilities, equipment and linear assets, such as
pumping stations, regulators, interceptors, tide gate structures, etc. Projects may be managed within DEP, or through outside entities.

The Civil Engineer's primary responsibilities include:
1. Seamless communication/coordination with Collections Operations, Agency Bureaus, other City Agencies, and key Stakeholders and lead reviews of design and construction
documents to confirm conformance with the Agency's standards and goals, and to make sure that the project/assignment's goals and milestones are met, ensuring that all prepared schedules, reports, and work products conform to the approved scope of work.
2. Support with the management of the Interceptor Improvement Program, as directed.
3. Coordination of multiple assignments of moderate to high technical complexity with major potential impact on agency engineering operations and/or City's infrastructure.
4. Preparation, negotiation, and processing of new solicitation as well as appropriate modifications to existing vendor's contract scope, cost, and schedule for successful
completion of the project or assignment at hand.
5. Day-to-day guidance and oversight of subordinates' work assignments, motivation of current employees, approval of time and leave, evaluation of staff members and development of staffing requirements for implementation of the assignment at hand.
6. The Civil Engineer must have the minimum technical knowledge and be a "hands-on" professional capable of quickly recognizing what is required for an assignment and providing the sustained effort necessary to see that assignment through from inception to completion.
7. Where necessary, the Civil Engineer will be responsible for managing staff efficiently and effectively to ensure adequate staffing of projects/assignments and opportunities for professional growth.
8. The Civil Engineer reports directly to the Section Chief.
