New York NY United States New York City Department of Transportation Full time

The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) is seeking a landscape architect to serve in the Urban Design Unit (UD) within the Office of Cityscape & Franchises. UD's overarching mission is to enhance and uphold agency design standards and quality for the public right-of-way with a focus on place-making, environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic viability. The unit's responsibilities are threefold:

  1. agency design coordination and representation;
  2. design policy and standards development;
  3. design and planning project management and research.

Serving as the agency's liaison to the New York City Public Design Commission (PDC) and New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), the unit manages a diverse portfolio of planning and design projects subject to interagency approvals. Steward of the Street Design Manual, UD develops design standards and initiates programs that advance DOT's mission and design principles of fostering safety, mobility, access, neighborhood context, sustainability, and equity. UD manages a host of capital projects and pursues in-house design and planning efforts as well as research and geospatial modeling. Select accomplishments range from the establishment of the citywide landscape maintenance program to the design and management of the $130 million Downtown Far Rockaway Urban Design and Streetscape Project, comprising the redesign of the transit network and facilities, creation of sustainable streets and open spaces, and the development of affordable housing.


As Design Review Manager, the landscape architect will manage the division's varied design and review activities including appraising and executing urban design, landscape architecture, architecture, streetscape, planning, and transportation infrastructure projects of varying scales and complexity. In particular, the Design Review Manager will be responsible for coordinating projects subject to the PDC and LPC and other intra- and inter-agency design and review processes, including the review of agency capital projects. Within a collaborative design studio environment, the Design Review Manager will be called upon to perform and manage expert design services in support of major agency initiatives and priority projects in collaboration with the Executive and Borough Commissioners' offices as well as external organizations such as the NYC Economic Development Corporation. In conjunction with the division's evolving work on the successive editions of the Street Design Manual and management of its online resources, the Design Review Manager will also be responsible for investigating and establishing "best practices" in street design and sustainability including the refinement and development of design policies, practices, standards, and specifications.
