Job Description

Director of Capital Project Administration
NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services
Civil Service Title: Administrative Project Manager (Non Mgrl)
Title Code No: 8300B
Number of Positions: 1
Salary: $90,000 – $120,000
Division/Work Unit: Division of Energy Management/Office of Energy Conservation

The Department of Citywide Administrative Services’ (“DCAS”) Division of Energy Management (“DEM”) serves as the hub for energy management for City government operations, including energy procurement, building retrofits, improved operations & maintenance, training, performance tracking and management of electricity, natural gas, and steam accounts that serve 80 agencies and more than 4,000 buildings. DEM is tasked with leading the City’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”) emissions by 80 percent by 2050 from a 2005 baseline (“80 x 50”). Specifically, the City has set a near-term goal to reduce GHG emissions from government buildings 35 percent by 2025 (“35 x 25”). DEM will look to both demand and supply side initiatives to accomplish these goals.

Through reducing energy usage and increasing the supply of low carbon energy within governmental operations, using its infrastructure assets as a test bed for new and innovative energy efficiency and clean energy generation technologies, and developing use cases for the private sector to build off of, DEM will achieve its near-term goals and put the city on a path toward 80 x 50. It is important to understand the interactions – both upstream and downstream – that our energy initiatives have on other policy goals of the City including air quality, public health, economic growth, equity and resiliency. Our energy initiatives must work in concert with and to the greatest extent possible complement the broader goals of the City.

DEM seeks to hire a Director of Capital Project Administration to oversee the Accelerated Conservation and Efficiency (ACE) Program and other funding programs. The ACE Program is a competitive funding program for energy efficiency projects implemented by City Agencies and a central component of the municipal energy strategy under One City, Built to Last.

The Director will also coordinate all program data collection required to ensure measurement and verification of program costs, energy and greenhouse gas emissions savings, and progress towards program goals. The position will also support office financial accounting functions including tracking, spending, and reporting program results. The individual must be versatile in directing diverse operations in support of the energy goals laid out in the One City Built to Last plan and demonstrate strong project management skills.

• Manage the delivery of the ACE Program under One City Built to Last and other energy efficiency funding programs;
