About The Position

The NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC), Division of Infrastructure, is currently seeking a Coordinator (SWPPP). The successful candidate will report to the Chief Engineer and will assist NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) teams in navigating the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)’s review and approval of permit applications. Key responsibilities include providing critical technical assistance and decision support on various projects; supplying clear information about status and requirements for project approvals including but not limited to all facets of compliance with the unified storm water rule. DDC projects impacted by Unified Storm Water Rule (USWR) will require coordination with DEP’s Bureau of Environmental Planning and Analysis. DEP’s Stormwater Permitting Section is responsible for implementing 15 RCNY Chapter 19.1 and the construction/post-construction requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit issued to the City by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Professional engineers, registered landscape architects and other professionals that have knowledge in design and implementation of designs for the prevention of pollution related to stormwater runoff prepare and submit stormwater pollution prevention plans. Under the updated MS4 Permit, the City has reduced the soil disturbance threshold of projects requiring reviewing and approval in the MS4 areas to 20,000 square feet. In addition, the City will enforce the same rules in the combined sewer service area to reduce the occurrence of combined sewer overflows. That addition with the MS4 area reduction is expected to increase the number of applications. The selected candidate will aid DDC project teams in navigating DEP’s filing pathways, reviewing, and approving of permit applications and ensuring timely receipt of permits; review, approve, and disapprove Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs); and will adequately review plans that requires a working knowledge of hydrology, hydraulics, soils, and practice designed to prevent pollution of stormwater runoff.

Lastly, the selected candidate will conduct and attend meetings as requested by the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) with project teams to provide updates on project reviews, discuss active DDC portfolio, and filing strategies.
