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 stormwater, 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.

New York City has approximately 140,000 catch basins, 114,000 hydrants, 90,000 valves, 14 gatehouses, 3 reservoirs, 68 groundwater wells, a 100-million-gallon underground storage tank and 7,000 miles each of both sanitary sewers and water mains. The responsibility of maintaining these vast networks falls under the Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations (BWSO).

The primary responsibilities of the Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations are: the operation, maintenance and protection of the City’s drinking water and wastewater collection (sewer) systems; the protection of adjacent waterways; and the development and protection of the Department’s Capital Water and Sewer Design Program. The Bureau also approves and inspects water and sewer connections performed by licensed plumbers and/or authorized contractors. In addition, the Bureau has overall responsibility for the approval and inspection of all public and private construction projects which could impact on the City’s water or sewer systems.

The Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations is seeking an Engineer in Charge who will manage the response to request for remediation of failures in the City water and sewer systems through the use of emergency construction contracts and will oversee the procurement of these contracts for the emergency repair of water mains and sewers in the 5 boroughs. The section also oversees replacement and relocation of the City’s water and sewer facilities as part of larger construction projects performed by outside entities. Engineers liaise with other governmental and pseudo-governmental entities and agencies and private developers to coordinate the private work in conjunction with the work on City facilities. The EIC will manage a group of engineers assigned to oversee the work on the installation, modification and repair of sewers and water mains and represent the unit and agency in connection with the water and sewer related construction contracts for items such as the oversight of contract budget, the managing of the influx of work orders for sewer and water main break repairs, managing the generation, updating, transmission and storage of all information generated under the contracts and monitoring the work to ensure timely completion.
