<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Our In-House Design (IHD) directorate provides design and engineering services to meet operations' needs in a manner consistent with BEDC's core values of safety, schedule, quality, and customer service. IHD supports projects from the capital project initiation process through preliminary design, design, procurement construction, and finally with the turnover to operations. IHD's Design Services division includes Architectural, Site Civil, Structural, Process Mechanical/HVAC, Water Tunnel Mechanical Systems, and Electrical discipline sections. Each design section prepares design and construction documents including engineering plans and specifications for the construction of water supply, sewer, and wastewater treatment infrastructure. IHD projects are typically of the highest priority for the Agency. IHD's Engineering Services includes the Quality Assurance, Laboratory Services, Specifications/Standard Operating Procedures, Sustainability, and BIM/CADD sections. The Engineering Services division focuses on project's sustainability, resiliency, laboratory material testing, quality reviews and inspections, standardization of documents, project delivery standards and uses current BIM/CADD technology to streamline engineering design processes.</p> <p>Under the jurisdiction of BEDC's IHD Division, the Structural Section is responsible for creating structural engineering designs for capital improvement projects that, in conjunction with other engineering disciplines, develop and shape DEP's public infrastructure, and assist in the continued operation and maintenance of exemplary water supply and wastewater conveyance and treatment systems to protect New York City's public environment. The projects worked on are some of the largest public works contracts administered by the City. They are vital to the health and welfare of the citizens of New York and allow the designers to leave a lasting legacy by creating facilities that will be utilized for generations to come.</p> <p>The Structural Section is responsible for the preparation of structural engineering documents for the construction, remodeling, operation, maintenance and repair of public infrastructure for large and complex water supply, wastewater and miscellaneous facilities. Specific work areas include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation of plans and specifications for extremely complex rehabilitation efforts, upgrades, expansions, and new construction of major infrastructure and tunnel and wastewater facilities, such as water resource recovery plants, pumping stations, reservoir gate houses, and potable water facilities. These projects are of the highest priority and must be frequently implemented without the interruption of the supply of drinking water or the wastewater treatment process. The Structural Section also continuously coordinates with other disciplines including civil, tunnel mechanical, architectural, process mechanical, and electrical throughout the entire design process.</p> <p>BEDC seeks to hire an Administrative Engineer M3 for IHD's Structural Section, located in Queens, NY. Under direction of the Deputy Director, with broad scope for the exercise of independent initiative and judgment, the selected candidate will perform the duties of a Structural Section Manager.
