PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY SEEKING INTERNAL CITY EMPLOYEES FOR THIS POSITION. 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 $35B, and another $13.6B 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 Wastewater Capital Program (WWCP) staff oversees the design and construction of all major capital projects for the Bureau of Wastewater Treatment (BWT). Current projects include upgrades for sustainability, resiliency, and state of good repair improvements (e.g. main sewage pump system upgrades, solids handling facility upgrades, power system improvements, combined sewer overflow abatement projects and pump station rehabilitation.) WWCP is a team of project managers and engineers who deliver projects with an emphasis on environmental health and safety, quality, schedule, budget, and client service. BEDC seeks to hire an Administrative Construction Project Manager M3 to be the Deputy Portfolio Manager (PM) overseeing the administration and operation of a significant subset of projects within Wastewater Capital Program directorate in Queens, NY. The Deputy Portfolio Manager will support the PM managing a portfolio of in-City Wastewater Capital Program projects including: wastewater pump station rehabilitation, Gowanus Canal Superfund CSO Facilities design and construction, , and state of good repair upgrades at various WRRFs. A portfolio typically consists of a dozen large-scale capital projects in various stages of planning, design and construction with an aggregate value of $1 Billion or more. The Deputy PM will manage assigned projects, while also overseeing AM staff managing projects within the same program or project groups. While assigned projects will change as existing projects are closed out and new projects are initiated, typical assigned projects include time-sensitive work on various consent orders, structural improvements and upgrades of main sewage pumping, power distribution, solids handling, and process systems at Wastewater Resource Recovery Facilities; rehabilitation of wastewater pump stations; rehabilitation of docks and resiliency-related improvements. The Deputy PM will direct the oversight of the planning, design and construction of major capital construction projects for a program that will allow the DEP to meet its wastewater treatment requirements into the future. The selected candidate will be responsible for the achievement of project goals and milestones, ensuring that all prepared schedules, reports, and work products conform to the scope of work.

The selected candidate will also serve as Acting Portfolio Manager in the absence of the Portfolio Manager and will participate in bureau-wide programs/initiatives (e.g., RFP template development, SOP ownership, curriculum development/presentations for PM Training). The Deputy PM will support other initiatives or issue resolution within the portfolio, directorate, or bureau. The Deputy PM will perform program/project delivery tasks requiring more experience, resolve and keep watch over interrelated issues and schedules, and delegate less complex project management tasks to their AM/project support staff. Deputy PM will ensure close coordination, consistency, and communication within the portfolio. Under the direction of the PM, Deputy PM may serve as the construction lead responsible on portfolio projects in design to ensure constructability and provide recommendations on potential construction methods as well as sequencing.
