Deputy Chief, Contract and Grants Administration, and Policy Adviser - Newark, United States - Gateway Development Commission (GDC)
Description
Summary of Responsibilities
The Gateway Development Commission is in search of a Deputy Chief, Contract and Grants Administration, and Policy Adviser who can offer strategic leadership in managing contracts, grants, and policy development within the Programs Department. This role, reporting to the Principal Deputy Chief, Planning, Policy, Contracts, and Grants, is crucial for ensuring effective contract management, compliance, and policy guidance in infrastructure development.

Project Background
The Gateway Program is a critical infrastructure initiative – a comprehensive series of rail investments designed to enhance commuter and intercity services, introduce necessary resiliency, and ultimately establish new capacity between Newark, New Jersey, and New York City, the busiest segment of the Northeast Corridor (NEC). The NEC, from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., is the busiest rail corridor in the nation, supporting a region that generates 20% of the Gross National Product. The 10-mile section of the NEC covered by the Gateway Program carries over 200,000 daily Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT passenger trips on about 450 trains under regular conditions and is a crucial artery in the region.
The initial phase of the Gateway Program involves the Hudson Tunnel Project, including the construction of a new two-track tunnel beneath the Hudson River connecting to Penn Station New York and the complete restoration of the existing 110-year-old North River Tunnel. This project aims to provide operational flexibility, rail network redundancy, and resilience against future Hudson River rail crossing disruptions. The environmental review for the project was finalized in May 2021.
The Gateway Development Commission, formed through bi-state legislation, is responsible for funding and overseeing the Hudson Tunnel Project. The Commission is overseen by a Board of 7 Commissioners appointed by Amtrak, New Jersey, and the New York State Department of Transportation, and collaborates with Amtrak, NJ TRANSIT, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The Gateway Development Commission is committed to being an Equal Opportunity Employer, executing all personnel practices without discrimination based on various factors. Diverse teams are recognized as the strongest teams, and applicants from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
