Employment Type : Full-Time
***IMPORTANT NOTE: Only open to those serving as a permanent Administrative Engineer.***
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) protects public health and the environment by supplying clean drinking water, collecting and treating wastewater, 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. We deliver 1.1 billion gallons of high quality drinking water per day to 8.5 million New York City residents and more than 1 million people in Upstate New York, and we collect and treat an average of 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater per day.
The Bureau of Wastewater Treatment is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all facilities related to the treatment of sewage, including wastewater treatment plants, collections facilities (pumping stations, combined sewer overflow retention facilities, regulators, tide gates), wastewater laboratories, harbor vessels and sludge dewatering facilities.
Under general direction, with wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment, Facility Managers are accountable for all facets of operations at one or more New York City wastewater treatment plant. Specific duties include, but are not limited to, supervising civil service staff in various work titles to ensure that each plant efficiently complies with all regulatory requirements in a safe and productive manner; administering each plant's expense budget, including energy, chemicals, overtime, parts inventory and contract services; establishing expectations for staff productivity, consistent with departmental work rules and contractual agreements; providing technical guidance regarding specific process operations; and attending meetings with regulatory authorities, elected officials, labor representatives, the community and environmental groups to respond to particular issues at their assigned plant(s). The Facility Managers will also be directly involved in the planning and oversight of daily work activities, using a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to assure the reliability of key assets; and the hiring, promotion and discipline of employees at assigned locations. As the treatment plants operate around the clock, the Facility Manager is expected to be on 24-hour call to respond whenever necessary and is also expected to travel between assigned plants as necessary to carry out duties.

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.
