The mission of the New York City Police Department is to enhance the quality of life in New York City by working in partnership with the community to enforce the law, preserve peace, protect the people, reduce fear, and maintain order. The NYPD strives to foster a safe and fair city by incorporating Neighborhood Policing into all facets of Department operations and solve the problems that create crime and disorder through an interdependent relationship between the people and its police, and by pioneering strategic innovation.

The Facilities Management Division seeks a qualified Energy Conservation Specialist, III, designated Energy Project Manager. The Energy Project Manager will sit within FMD/AESS, which is responsible for Architectural and Engineering Services. Working closely with the agency energy team, and in close partnership the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Division of Energy Management (DEM). The Energy Project Manager will primarily be charged with developing and managing the implementation of energy efficiency and/or clean energy projects in City-owned buildings. The responsibilities of the Energy Project Manager are expected to include, but are not limited to, the following:

1 .

• Support the design and development of energy efficiency and/or clean energy projects:

• Collaborate with DCAS to identify potential energy efficiency and clean energy project opportunities at City facilities.

• Assess the current state and provide risk analysis of City facilities to develop recommendations for building optimization and energy efficiency.

• Develop project scope of work through surveys and site visits and prepare energy project funding proposals and supporting documents (i.e., materials that calculate estimated energy savings, cost savings, emissions reductions, and other benefits expected from energy projects).

2.

• Lead day-to-day energy efficiency and/or clean energy project implementation.

• Liaise with agency partners, consultants, and contractors during implementation.

• Perform site visits throughout the project implementation process to monitor progress, evaluate completed milestones, and inspect completed work for project close-outs.

• Refine proposed scopes of work and ensure project compliance with the scope and schedule set forth in contract and specification documents.
