Hamilton, Canada City of New York Full time

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 stormwater, 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.

New York City has approximately 140,000 catch basins, 114,000 hydrants, 90,000 valves, 14 gatehouses, 3 reservoirs, 68 groundwater wells, a 100 million gallon underground storage tank and 7,000 miles each of both sanitary sewers and water mains. The responsibility of maintaining these vast networks falls under the Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations (BWSO).

The primary responsibilities of the Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations are: the operation, maintenance and protection of the City’s drinking water and wastewater collection (sewer) systems; the protection of adjacent waterways; and the development and protection of the Department’s Capital Water and Sewer Design Program. The Bureau also approves and inspects water and sewer connections performed by licensed plumbers and/or authorized contractors. In addition, the Bureau has overall responsibility for the approval and inspection of all public and private construction projects which could impact on the City’s water or sewer systems.

The Bureau is also responsible for the operation of the Staten Island Bluebelt. This is an ecologically sound, cost effective natural alternative to storm sewers, which occupies approximately 15 square miles of land in the South Richmond area of Staten Island. This project preserves streams, ponds and other wetland ("bluebelt") areas, allowing them to perform their natural function of conveying, storing and filtering storm water. These areas also provide important community open spaces and a diverse wildlife habitat.

The Geothermal Unit within the Connections & Permitting division within the Bureau of Water & Sewer Operations is looking to hire an Administrative Engineer who will serve as the Section Chief of the Excavation & Drilling section. This Unit is tasked with the detailed examination of subsurface work within the buffers of New York City’s critical infrastructure such as water tunnels and shafts. The unit is also in charge of reviewing all excavation or drilling in close proximity of DEP critical infrastructure such as water tunnel, shaft and other deep tunnels. There is an estimated 4,000 applications per year, which DEP receives. The selected employee will ensure that all reviews/approvals conform to DEP rules, regulations, and requirements and will not have adverse impact on the city's critical infrastructure. They will identify, develop, and implement recommendations to proposed rules, program revisions, staffing needs, enforcement actions associated with the rules and regulations in protection of the critical infrastructure. They will also supervise other employees involved in the review of all applications and proposals submitted to the bureau.

NOTE; IN ORDER TO BE SELECTED FOR AN INTERVIEW, YOU MUST BE PERMANENT IN THE TITLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ENGINEER OR HAVE FILED FOR THE MOST RECENT CIVIL SERVICE EXAM FOR THIS TITLE.


Minimum Qualifications

1. A valid New York State License as a Professional Engineer.

2. Six (6) years of full-time satisfactory experience in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, or plan examining work, at least two (2) years of which must have been in an executive, managerial, or administrative capacity.
