  5. Establish responsibilities and performance standards for staff, ensuring alignment with relevant civil service titles and operational needs. Delegate tasks based on staff expertise and workload.
  6. Engage with senior personnel from the City, engineering and legal firms, and construction contractors.
  7. Participate actively in settlement meetings and negotiations.
  8. Implement Bureau policies within the directorate.
  9. Monitor directorate performance and report progress and issues to the supervisor as needed.
  10. Perform additional related duties and assignments as required.
