City and County of San Francisco•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Under the direction of the Project Management Bureau Manager, Deputy Bureau Manager, and the Wastewater Capital Program Director, the Project Manager IV (PM IV) is responsible for overseeing and implementing a series of phased capital improvement projects in the area of Collection System Improvements, Flood Resilience, Green Infrastructure (GI), and Collection System Repair and Replacement for the Wastewater Enterprise of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). These projects are part of SFPUC’s Wastewater Enterprise Capital Improvement Program (WWCIP). The projects in the Collection System Program will provide additional stormwater protection and system redundancy for more reliable wastewater/stormwater collection, storage and conveyance, thus allowing the SFPUC to better protect public health and safety and address localized flooding during heavy rain events. SFPUC combined sewer system will become more robust and reliable as projects are completed to repair, replace, and upgrade the aging sewer system infrastructure, and pump station facilities. In addition, the construction of larger capacity all-weather tunnels, transport structures and pipelines will increase/improve flow conveyance and storage, alleviating chronic flooding in localized areas. These collection system, flood resiliency, and green infrastructure projects will greatly improve the SFPUC’s stormwater management and control and encourage stormwater diversion and reuse. Improved conveyance and storage likely also result in reduced combined sewer discharges to recreational beaches and other sensitive shorelines. Flood Resiliency projects have been proposed to mitigate wet weather flows (i.e., Lower Alemany Stormwater and Folsom Area Stormwater). Flows will be transported either west to the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant, or east to Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant via the proposed improvements to mitigate historical flooding in several low-lying areas. The GI projects involve the development and implementation of low impact design work for reduction of peak flows and reuse of stormwater. Much of the effort will require coordination with other City departments and programs such as the Department of Recreation and Parks, SF Unified School District, the Better Streets Program, and the GI Loans and Grants program. Collection System projects have been proposed to address aging infrastructures problems in the various areas throughout San Francisco. These will be a combination of Large Diameter Sewers, pump stations, and force mains and combined sewer overflow structures improvements. The PM IV will be responsible for several related projects, supervising teams of project managers, design engineers, operations, environmental planning, communications, project controls and construction staff. Furthermore, the PM IV will oversee the planning, design and construction of the Interdepartmental Projects involving other City departments.
