City of New York • New York, NY • 1h ago

Job Description

The New York City Department of Correction (DOC) is an integral part of the City's evolving criminal justice system, participating in reform initiatives and strategies aimed to move the City towards a smaller jail system without compromising public safety. The DOC is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for our employees, visitors, volunteers, and people in our custody. Importantly, safe jails enable DOC to provide people in custody with the tools and opportunities they need to successfully re-enter their communities. The DOC operates facilities and court commands across the five boroughs with more than 7,500 diverse professionals and knowledgeable experts.

The Department seeks an Executive Director of Construction Management to support the Borough-Based Jails (BBJ) Program and the Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit (OTxHU) healthcare infrastructure portfolio. Reporting to executive leadership and exercising wide latitude for independent judgment, the selected candidate will direct field-level construction execution across complex correctional, healthcare, institutional, mechanical, electrical, controls, life-safety, and high-voltage construction scopes.

This position will serve as a senior technical and operational authority for construction execution across active and planned DOC locations, including work performed in occupied correctional facilities, operating institutional environments, and acute-care hospital settings. The Executive Director will identify construction risk, coordinate multi-agency requirements, support schedule recovery, review technical submissions, and ensure construction activity aligns with operational, safety, compliance, and programmatic priorities.

Responsibilities

Direct field-level construction execution across the BBJ program and OTxHU portfolio, including multi-site and multi-phase work performed in active or occupied facilities.

Serve as a senior technical resource for mechanical, electrical, building management controls, life-safety, standby power, high-voltage, detention electronics, and related construction scopes.

Review and assess contractor and consultant submissions, including MEP, structural, curtain wall, VFD, switchgear, controls, commissioning, and detention security electronics documentation.

Coordinate with DOC leadership, construction teams, consultants, contractors, and external stakeholders to resolve field conditions, sequencing conflicts, technical issues, permitting matters, and project delivery risks.

Support licensing, permitting, inspection, and compliance coordination with NYC DOB, FDNY, DOHMH, DEP, OMB, DCAS, DDC, BOC, SCOC, and other oversight or partner entities.

Monitor construction activity for alignment with operational requirements, life-safety obligations, healthcare infrastructure requirements, correctional security considerations, and court-ordered compliance priorities.

Lead construction risk identification and mitigation, track critical path issues, elevate barriers, and support schedule recovery plans for at-risk packages.

Prepare executive-level briefings, field reports, risk summaries, technical assessments, and recommendations for departmental leadership.

Provide technical guidance and mentorship to construction management, resident engineering, assistant resident engineering, and field staff assigned to the portfolio.

Interface with executive-level entities within DOC and outside agencies as directed.
