The NYC Department of Transportation's Facilities and Security Management Unit seeks to hire two energy project managers 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, as well as bridge houses, municipal parking lots, and other parcels of land under DOT jurisdiction.

In addition to operations, maintenance, repair, regulatory compliance, and general management, Facilities and Security Management 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, be responsible for providing energy data and pathways to achieve building emissions reductions targets outlined in LL97, LL101, and Executive Order 89, and will primarily develop and manage implementation of energy efficiency and/or clean‑energy projects in City‑owned buildings.

• Support the design and development of energy efficiency and/or clean‑energy projects: collaborate with Facilities and Securities Management Energy Team to identify opportunities at City facilities; assess current state and provide risk analysis; develop project scope through surveys and site visits; prepare energy project funding proposals and supporting documents estimating energy savings, cost savings, emissions reductions, and other benefits.
• Lead day‑to‑day energy efficiency and/or clean‑energy project implementation: liaise with agency partners, consultants, and contractors; perform site visits to monitor progress, evaluate milestones, and inspect completed work; refine scopes of work and ensure compliance with contract and specification documents; maintain project documentation; assess and address risks and resolve technical issues.
• Manage energy project tracking, performance management, and reporting: coordinate a uniform approach to project tracking and documentation; perform data collection and tracking for accurate reporting on schedules, budgets, scopes, and verified energy savings and emissions reductions; lead and/or support reporting of progress and milestones to the agency energy team, leadership, and other stakeholders.
• Provide technical expertise throughout the overall project lifecycle: perform engineering calculations and energy modeling; assess construction design information; review and provide comments on design packages; evaluate contractor specifications; conduct measurement and verification activities to quantify post‑implementation impacts.
• Provide overall support for the unit's and City's mission: participate in ad‑hoc and special projects; act as a subject‑matter expert; represent the agency and the City in national and international conferences; conduct related research and deploy agency‑wide awareness seminars.
