Company Description

Job Description

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.

Plan Review is a unit within the Division of Connections and Permitting that evaluates civil engineering plans with a potential impact on the New York City water supply and sewer systems. For example, Plan Review analyzes the proposals for the development of private water and sewer infrastructure, large public and private development projects, climate resiliency, waterfront project, new alternative energy projects, and green infrastructure projects. The selected candidate will be responsible for reviewing, analyzing, and approving the designs to ensure compliance with DEP standards and engineering practices. The Plan Review group ensures that a network of city infrastructure vital to the continued operation is protected and that service interruption is minimized.

The selected candidate will review complex engineering proposals for various types of projects submitted by different City and State Agencies, Private Developer, Transit/MTA, Port Authority, EDC, etc. related to water and sewer facilities within the five boroughs of the City. Review of these submittals is necessary to determine the impact on NYC water and sewer facilities, as well to ensure the proposed facilities will not have an adverse impact on the DEP Infrastructure. This position is also for to review the plans for new sewer and water main works to verify that the design of sewer and water main conform NYC DEP Sewer and Water Main Standards and Specification.

Specific duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to:

-Supervising a staff of 4-6 engineers of varying levels of expertise.
-Independently utilizes engineering, construction, DEP, and other standards and practices related to structural, geotechnical and hydraulic design to analyze complex design plans submitted to the agency. The review and analysis the group performs takes a look at the potential impact on the existing and proposed NYC sewer and water supply systems. For example, we have reviewed the impact of critical NYC projects such as Second Avenue Subway Expansion, Hudson River Gateway tunnel, East Side Coastal Resiliency, Willets Point Development, etc.
-The team interacts with various operational groups to ensure continued access and maintenance will be provided.
-Engages in research of existing water and sewer drawings and design, investigation, or studies to determine the extent of sewer and water infrastructure within the review area. The team explores new methods of construction and design.
-Coordinate and conduct meetings with the representatives from other City and State agencies as well as private developers and filing professionals.
-Ensures that communications are tracked to ensure project milestones are met in a timely manner.
-Present project findings, risks, and achievements to executive management.
