City of New York 4.2
New York, NY jobs
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 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.
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.
Wastewater utilities are moving from handlers of wastewater to managers of sustainable resources and watershed-scale environmental leaders seeking the least-cost/highest return environmental and social solutions. We are embracing best practices and collaboration to ensure a sustainable future that minimizes waste, maximizes resources, protects our ratepayers, improves the community and embraces innovation. We have therefore been transforming from an agency that conveys and treats wastewater to a manager of valuable resources that is recognized as an essential partner in local economic development and an important member of the watershed community seeking to deliver maximum environmental benefits at the least cost to society.
Under general direction, with wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment, the Division Chief of Residuals Operations is accountable for all facets of management related to operations and maintenance of the Bureau of Wastewater Treatment's marine fleet and transportation vehicles.

The Division Chief also manages all residuals from the 14 WRRF's and will participate in planning for resource recovery and sustainable management of residuals. Specific duties include, but are not limited to: supervising civil service staff in various work titles to ensure that all marine and transportation operations efficiently complies with all regulatory and EHS requirements in a safe and productive manner; administering the division's expense budget, including energy, overtime, parts inventory, capital purchases, engineering and contract services; establishing expectations for staff productivity, consistent with departmental work rules and contractual agreements; providing technical guidance regarding specific operations; and attending meetings with regulatory authorities, elected officials, and labor representatives. The Division Chief will also be directly involved in the hiring, promotion and discipline of employees at assigned locations. The Division Chief will oversee planning, design, procurement contracts related to marine operations and transportation projects, provide technical review of design and fabrication activities, and provide input to project managers, designers, and construction managers involved with capital procurement of marine vessels and the Bureau's fleet of 450+ vehicles. The Division Chief will develop key performance indicators (KPI) for the division and will collect and analyze data to make data centric decisions to improve performance of the staff and fleets. As the vessels and vehicles operate around the clock, the Division Chief is expected to be on 24-hour call to respond whenever necessary and is expected to travel between city sites as necessary to carry out duties.
The Division Chief will demonstrate the following behaviors and competencies: be innovative, inspire and support opportunities for change and continuous improvement, provide exceptional internal and external customer service, facilitate sharing of information, identify capacity gaps and training needs, support increased in-sourcing of tasks and projects typically contracted out, make data-driven decisions on future approaches and procurement, perform operations planning processes, evaluates data from monitoring, builds alignment and consensus within the team around organizational goals, demonstrates leadership in cross-functional collaboration across the department, sets individual and team goals, builds teams and talent through collaboration, manages competing priorities, converts vision and strategy into successful tactics and plans, is action oriented with innovative approaches to complete tasks, and embraces the bureau's mission, operates in alignment with vision, values and goals for sustainable operations.
