Job Description
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 DEP Office of Energy and Resource Recovery Programs ("DEP Energy Team") is housed within the Commissioner's Office. The DEP Energy Team is committed to implementing energy management best practices across DEP's portfolio of buildings and operating facilities to help meet the City's ambitious energy and emissions reduction goals. The team works to track overall energy usage and identify energy-saving opportunities in facilities; implement energy-efficient operations and maintenance practices; and deliver energy efficiency retrofit and clean Energy Projects. The DEP Energy Team consists of two components: Project Planning and Project Implementation.
DEP seeks to hire an Energy Project Manager - Capital to serve within our Energy Team. The person will report to the Energy Portfolio Manager, and sit within the Project Implementation group. The Energy Project Manager - Capital will help deliver capital-funded energy efficiency retrofit projects at DEP, especially projects funded through DEM's ACE Program. DEP's existing model for ACE project delivery is that the individual bureaus develop and submit ACE project applications and then have responsibility for executing awarded projects, with supervision from the Energy Team.
Specifically, the Energy Project Manager - Capital will be charged with the following responsibilities:
-Overseeing delivery of capital-funded Energy Projects through the ACE Program, as well as other pathways: Works with bureau staff to ensure that all ACE projects are delivered on time, on budget, and in accordance with scope. With consultants and contractors, manages design and construction for energy efficiency projects. Reviews, provides comments, and makes recommendations on design packages submitted by consultants for projects. Resolves technical project issues. Oversees project close-out.
-Managing ACE project administration: Gathers and manages all necessary project documentation for projects being done through the ACE Program. Performs data collection and tracking necessary to ensure accurate, on-demand project reporting in a range of areas, including compliance with project schedules, budgets, and scopes and verified energy savings and emissions reductions. Develops effective procedures and controls for ACE Program participation at DEP to hold the individual bureaus accountable.
-Contributing to Energy Project development: Works with the individual bureaus to develop new ACE project applications. Identifies opportunities to scale energy conservation measures. Develops and reviews scopes of work for energy efficiency projects, working closely with contractors and consultants. Performs technical calculations to estimate the expected energy savings, cost savings, and emissions reductions for energy efficiency projects.
-Managing measurement and verification ("M&V") for ACE projects, as well as other capital-funded energy efficiency retrofit projects: Helps develop M&V plans consistent with the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol. Helps conduct M&V for ACE projects to confirm that they are achieving intended outcomes, including working with bureau staff and DEM as appropriate. Helps centralize M&V processes for Energy Projects at DEP.
-Supporting scoping of standalone Energy Projects: Assists the Energy Portfolio Manager in creating business cases and preliminary scopes of work for capital-funded standalone Energy Projects to accelerate energy and emissions reductions at DEP. Does technical review of design deliverables.
-Providing other necessary support to the DEP Energy Team: Contribute to the other initiatives being advanced by the DEP Energy Team as needed.
