    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 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.


    The Bureau of Engineering Design & Construction (BEDC) currently has a portfolio of capital projects valued at $23.8B, and another $10.5B 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.


    The Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Division's responsibility is to support, monitor and ensure that BEDC is in compliance with Federal, State and local EHS laws and regulations.

    In addition, BEDC's goal is to run the safest, most environmentally compliant capital construction program in the United States; zero accidents, zero harm to people, and zero harm to the environment.

    The EHS group provides EHS support to the life cycle of projects including, but not limited to; reviewing designs and participating in the preliminary design and design workshops; providing comments on the EHS contract requirements; reviewing and making recommendations for EHS awards; and providing EHS field support from preconstruction through turnover.

    In addition, the EHS group regularly updates their EHS Management System (MS) through an EHS MS Audit program that results in continuous improvement items.


    BEDC seeks to hire an Associate Project Manager 2 to serve as an Environmental Specialist for the Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) directorate, located in Valhalla, NY.

    Under direction of the EHS Program Manager, the selected candidate will be responsible for providing regulatory guidance and technical support relating to environmental laws and regulations to BEDC project management staff.

    S/he will be responsible for reviewing, preparing, and revising contract specifications, standard operating procedures (SOPs), BEDC EHS Standards, and guidance documents as they relate to the Bureau's environmental objectives and goals.

    S/he will continually update key documents and program elements as laws and regulations are revised by Federal, State, and Local agencies.

    S/he will work with EHS staff members and project management personnel to ensure projects are compliant with laws and regulations, as well as Agency and Bureau environmental policies and procedures.

    S/he will manage the Bureau's environmental programs, such as the Soil Management Program, Spill Prevention Program and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program.
