Stormwater Management Facilities Program Manager

Overview

The Office of Storm Drain Maintenance within the Department of Public Works & Transportation (DPW&T) is responsible for the improvements and maintenance of the County’s stormwater infrastructure, including storm drain systems, management facilities, drainage channels, outfalls, flood control assets, levees, and pump stations. This advanced and supervisory level position leads engineering, technical, and paraprofessional staff on complex projects and manages projects from planning through construction, providing direct supervision to staff and consultants.

Duties include applying advanced engineering principles in the design, analysis, review, and construction of stormwater management facilities, dams, and levees. Key tasks include developing and reviewing project scopes, overseeing design and estimating, negotiating consultant services, directing construction services, reviewing plans, managing contracts, conducting facility and levee inspections, and ensuring project delivery from inception to completion.

• Manage, coordinate, and oversee stormwater infrastructure projects from field investigation through planning, design, procurement, construction, inspection, closeout, and asset documentation.
• Conduct field investigations of storm drains, pipes, culverts, channels, outfalls, stormwater management facilities, ponds, flood-prone areas, levees, pump stations, and related drainage infrastructure.
• Identify infrastructure deficiencies, flooding concerns, maintenance needs, safety hazards, water quality issues, regulatory concerns, and potential capital improvement needs.
• Develop and review engineering assessments, technical memoranda, remedial alternatives, construction recommendations, concept plans, cost estimates, schedules, construction sequencing, and task-order scopes.
• Review engineering plans, technical reports, specifications, shop drawings, contractor submittals, requests for information, change orders, as-built documentation, and final project records.
• Perform or review hydrologic and hydraulic analyses related to storm drain systems, open channels, culverts, outfalls, floodplain impacts, stormwater management facilities, and stream/channel stabilization.
• Support stormwater facility retrofits, BMP restoration, drainage remediation, channel rehabilitation, outfall stabilization, dam-related improvements, flood mitigation, and asset protection projects.
• Evaluate constructability, maintenance access, utility conflicts, environmental constraints, site limitations, and long-term operational impacts of proposed stormwater improvements.
• Support OSDM’s MS4/NPDES permit responsibilities, including stormwater facility inspections, maintenance documentation, restoration tracking, compliance reporting, and annual report support.
• Coordinate with internal and external partners on triennial inspection of SWM facilities condition updates, corrective actions, compliance priorities, maintenance schedules, and long-term asset management strategies.
• Assist with technical review and documentation related to TMDL credit opportunities, BMP performance, pollutant reduction strategies, water quality activities, sampling coordination, and related data review.
• Manage, coordinate, and document levee and pump station activities necessary to meet federal operation and maintenance requirements, including USACE standards, project-specific Operation and Maintenance Manuals, 33 CFR Part 208.10, levee inspection programs, flood-fighting readiness, pump station readiness, and continuous levee patrols during flood periods.
• Coordinate GIS-based workflows to support stormwater facility tracking, inspection documentation, preventive maintenance planning, project prioritization, and operational decision-making.
• Manage and coordinate consultant engineers, construction managers, inspectors, environmental specialists, contractors, GIS professionals, and other technical service providers.
• Develop, review, and manage task orders for engineering, inspection, construction management, GIS, environmental, construction, and related professional services.
• Monitor consultant and contractor performance, schedules, budgets, deliverables, field progress, quality control, and compliance with contract requirements.
• Participate in pre-construction meetings, progress meetings, field reviews, stakeholder meetings, interagency coordination meetings, and project closeout meetings.
• Review construction issues, evaluate field conditions, resolve technical problems, recommend practical solutions, and ensure work is consistent with County standards and regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate construction-phase documentation, including daily reports, photographs, inspection records, redline revisions, as-built certifications, closeout documents, and final project files.
• Coordinate with County agencies, municipalities, state and federal agencies, utility companies, consultants, contractors, community organizations, elected officials, residents, and the public on…
