Job Description ***IMPORTANT NOTE: Only those currently serving as a permanent or probable permanent Associate Project Manager will be considered.*** The NYC 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. DEP delivers more than 1.1 billion gallons per day of the highest quality drinking water to 8.5 million NYC residents and more than 1 million people in Upstate New York and has a wastewater conveyance and treatment system capable of processing over 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater per day to protect the environment and the city’s surrounding waterways. The Bureau of Wastewater Treatment (BWT) is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all facilities related to the treatment of sewage within the five boroughs of the City. This includes 14 wastewater treatment plants, sludge dewatering facilities, collections facilities (pumping stations, combined sewer overflow retention facilities, regulators, tide gates, etc.), wastewater laboratories and harbor vessels. Within BWT, the Asset Management (AM) Planning Section is responsible for the development and administration of an Asset Management Program (AMP) that empowers the Bureau’s facilities and physical assets to achieve a State of Good Repair (SOGR) and attain desired service goals consistently and sustainably. The goal is to improve coordination and management of assets and activities by embedding AM practices within all levels of the organization to enable risk based and data driven decision making, and ultimately realize reduction of risk and ownership costs to DEP’s ratepayers.
