The NYC Department of Transportation's Facilities and Security Management Unit seeks to hire two energy project manager to serve within the Energy Management Team. DOT Facilities and Security Management supports a large portfolio of leased or City-owned facilities across more than 6 million square feet of office, yard, workshop, manufacturing, and warehouse space throughout the City. DOT's real estate portfolio also includes bridge houses, municipal parking lots, and other parcels of land under DOT jurisdiction, which Facilities supports in terms of environmental and code compliance. In addition to the operations, maintenance and repair, regulatory compliance, and general management of these existing facilities, Facilities and Security Management also supports the Agency's mission through ongoing optimization of its real estate portfolio and through energy conservation management.
The Energy Project Manager will sit within DOT Facilities and Securities Management, which is responsible for providing energy data and pathways to achieve building emissions reductions targets outlined in LL97, LL101, and Executive Order 89. Working closely with the Facilities and Securities Management Energy Team, and in close partnership the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Division of Energy Management (DEM), the Energy Project Manager will primarily be charged with developing and managing the implementation of energy efficiency and/or clean energy projects in City-owned buildings. The responsibilities of the Energy Project Manager are expected to include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Support the design and development of energy efficiency and/or clean energy projects: Collaborate with Facilities and Securities Management Energy Team to identify potential energy efficiency and clean energy project opportunities at City facilities. Assess the current state and provide risk analysis of City facilities to develop recommendations for building optimization and energy efficiency. Develop project scope of work through surveys and site visits and prepare energy project funding proposals and supporting documents (i.e., materials that calculate estimated energy savings, cost savings, emissions reductions, and other benefits expected from energy projects).
2. Lead day-to-day energy efficiency and/or clean energy project implementation. Liaise with agency partners, consultants, and contractors during implementation. Perform site visits throughout the project implementation process to monitor progress, evaluate completed milestones, and inspect completed work for project close-outs. Refine proposed scopes of work and ensure project compliance with the scope and schedule set forth in contract and specification documents. Maintain project-related documentation, including work orders, scopes of work, cost proposals, invoices, project status sheets, and progress reports. Assess and address potential risks and resolve technical project issues (e.g., materials supply and staff shortages, costs overages) as necessary.
3. Manage energy project tracking, performance management and reporting. Coordinate and ensure a uniform approach to project tracking and documentation. Perform data collection and tracking necessary to ensure accurate project reporting in a range of areas, including compliance with project schedules, budgets, and scopes and verified energy savings and emissions reductions. Lead and/or support reporting of project progress and milestones to agency energy team, agency leadership, and/or other City stakeholders (e.g., DCAS DEM).
4. Provide technical expertise throughout the overall project lifecycle. Perform engineering calculations and energy modeling to verify the reasonableness and accuracy of estimated energy usage reductions, energy cost savings, and avoided emissions for proposed energy efficiency projects. Assess construction design information such as detail and assembly drawings, design calculations, system layouts and sketches, or specifications. Review, provide comments, and make recommendations on design packages submitted by consultants for proposed energy efficiency projects. Evaluate designs or specifications submitted by contractors to ensure accuracy and quality. Perform measurement and verification activities (e.g., quantifying energy usage impacts post-implementation, performance and savings verification, etc.).
5. Provide overall support for the unit's and City's mission. Participate in ad hoc and special projects as needed. Act as a resource/subject matter expert on the agency's energy management and energy efficiency work. Represent the agency and the City in national and international conferences, conduct related research, and deploy agency-wide awareness seminars.
