The Agency You’ll Join: The New York City Mayor’s Office is responsible for overseeing city services throughout the five boroughs, coordinating public agencies and departments, and managing public property. The administration is leading the fight in making the city more affordable, reducing inequality, improving public safety, ensuring delivery of efficient and effective services, and working to make New York City’s economy stronger.

The Team You’ll Work With: The NYC Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) designs and implements the City’s brownfield cleanup and redevelopment initiatives. Foremost among these is the NYC Voluntary Cleanup Program (NYC VCP), the nation’s only municipally-run cleanup program, which offers remedial oversight and liability protection to property owners and developers of over 250 sites each year. Brownfields are sites where redevelopment is complicated by the presence of contamination, including from prior site uses, historic fill, or chemical spills. The office manages the NYC Clean Soil Bank, a municipally-run soil exchange that directs clean soil from construction sites to projects across the city that need it. OER’s clean soil stockpile provides NYC construction projects with no cost disposal of clean soil and provides clean soil to City and private projects as well as community gardens at no cost.
OER also supports Community Brownfield Planning Areas and administers the Brownfield Incentive Grant (BIG) program, which provides funding for the investigation and cleanup of brownfield sites as well as grants to community-based organizations conducting planning around brownfields. Additional OER programs and initiatives include the E-Designation Program for hazardous materials, air quality, and noise; Green Property Certification; and community engagement activities.

About You: OER seeks a Senior Project Manager to supervise and perform professional scientific work in environmental engineering and geology on project sites under the E-Designation and City’s Voluntary Cleanup program.
