As extreme weather events become more frequent, resilient surface and subsurface drainage systems are essential to New York City’s future. The NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is seeking an innovative Design Engineer to join the Area-wide Green Infrastructure (GI)/ Cloudburst Management team.

Reporting to an Engineer-in-Charge, you will play a hands-on role in shaping climate adaptation across the five boroughs leading and reviewing designs for Area-wide Green Infrastructure (GI), Cloudburst Management, and integrated roadway, water, and sewer capital projects. This role offers a balance of in-depth technical design, field engineering investigations, and consultant oversight, allowing you to advance sustainable stormwater management from concept to delivery.

What You Will Do

Engineering Analysis & Design

- Perform engineering investigations, hydrologic/hydraulic assessments, and feasibility studies for green infrastructure and cloudburst mitigation assets. - Perform comprehensive desktop analysis including the utilization of Cyclomedia Street Smart. - Develop, review, and refine detailed engineering drawings, specifications, quantity take-offs, and construction cost estimates. - Deliver constructible, code-compliant designs independently with minimal supervision while adhering to City capital project standards.

Consultant Management & Quality Assurance

- Oversee engineering design consultant contracts, tracking deliverables, milestones, and design schedules. - Perform rigorous interagency design reviews to ensure alignment across stormwater capture goals, existing subsurface utility corridors, and surface streetscapes.

Field Investigations & Technical Reporting

- Conduct field investigations and geometric assessments of existing surface/subsurface conditions across the five boroughs. - Prepare comprehensive technical reports, engineering memos, and design documentation to support capital approvals and stakeholder engagement. Coordination & Stakeholder Communication - Collaborate dynamically across internal DDC teams (such as Other Infrastructure Design units, Program Management, Geotechnical, and Utility Coordination) to leverage cross-disciplinary engineering knowledge, resolve complex technical challenges, and accelerate capital project delivery.

- Coordinate directly with private utilities and external partner agencies, including the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Department of Transportation (DOT), and NYC Parks, to secure design approvals, resolve utility conflicts, and seamlessly integrate green infrastructure assets with broader roadway, water, and sewer capital projects.

Innovation & Technology

- Evaluate and champion innovative materials, sustainable design practices, and emerging technologies to maximize stormwater management and climate resilience.

- Leverage advanced digital tools and explore the responsible application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automated workflows to streamline administrative processes, and document review efficiency.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
