Job Description
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of high-quality drinking water, managing wastewater and storm water, and reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country, with nearly 6,000 employees. DEP's water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the system's 2,000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City.
The Bureau of Engineering Design & Construction (BEDC) currently has a portfolio of capital projects valued at $23.8B, and another $10.5B projected over the next 10-year commitment plan. The projects BEDC implements allows DEP as a whole to continue to operate and maintain an exemplary water supply system.
Our In-House Design (IHD) directorate provides design and engineering services to meet operations' needs in a manner consistent with BEDC's core values of safety, schedule, quality, and customer service. IHD supports projects from the business case through preliminary design, design, procurement, construction, and finally with the turnover to operations. IHD's Design Services division includes Architectural, Site Civil, Structural, Process Mechanical/HVAC, Water Tunnel Mechanical Systems, and Electrical discipline sections. Each design section prepares design and construction documents including engineering plans and specifications for the construction of water supply, sewer, and wastewater treatment infrastructure. IHD projects are typically of the highest priority for the Agency. IHD's Engineering Services includes the Quality Assurance, Laboratory Services, Specifications/Standard Operating Procedures, Sustainability, and BIM/CADD sections. The Engineering Services division focuses on project's sustainability, resiliency, laboratory material testing, quality reviews and inspections, standardization of documents, project delivery standards and uses current BIM/CADD technology to streamline engineering design processes.
The BIM/CAD section is responsible for creating/designing new structures as well as renovation for existing structures using the latest BIM/CAD technology. The BIM/CAD section is responsible for developing and maintaining engineering concept designs using BIM and CAD software for new and existing structures. IHD's BIM/CAD section uses the current BIM/CAD technology to streamline engineering design processes and is responsible for coordinating with the various disciplines to ensure accuracy of the models that will be used for design, bid process, and construction.
BEDC seeks to hire a Computer Specialist (Operations), Building Information Modeling (BIM) Designer for IHD's BIM/CAD Section, located in Valhalla, NY. The BIM Designer will work in a multi-disciplined engineering BIM/CAD design section that serves the needs of municipal agencies within DEP that provides engineering drawings, specification and other documents related to the design of new or existing facilities. Under the supervision of the Lead Design Engineer and the Section Manager, the selected candidate will assist in the delivery of capital projects through the design phase by preparing engineering models and documents for large projects for water and wastewater pumping stations and treatment facilities, which are of the highest priority for the agency. Work shall include preparing said engineering drawings for water supply facilities, water tunnels, wastewater pumping stations, treatment systems and other miscellaneous facilities through the use of Revit, AutoCAD, Civil3D, and other BIM/CAD related software. Other responsibilities include field investigations and utilizing 3D laser scanning for capturing existing conditions. The BIM Designer's responsibilities may also include performing similar functions to review and oversee staff designs and models prepared by outsourced engineering firms for similar facilities.
Under direction, with great latitude for independent judgment and decision-making, the selected candidate's duties and responsibilities include preparing engineering or architectural designs for review by the professional engineers or architects and may oversee staff engaged in correlative activities. Furthermore, the selected candidate will prepare 2D and/or 3D building information models with related software from data, with or without sketches, reviews and interprets drawings and specifications, performs field inspections, and makes calculations. These tasks may require the application of geometric, trigonometric, and algebraic principles, formulas, and techniques, prepares reports, memos, and correspondence, maintains office records of drawings, plans, maps, surveys and inspection data, extracts data from various sources, e.g., manuals, standard reference guides, field notes, reports, etc. The BIM Designer will be expected to be independently capable of applying well-defined methods and principles to resolve issues that may arise.
The BIM Designer will also be responsible for reading and interpreting complex models and drawings, comparing with BIM/CAD standards, and makes corrections, as required. Under the direction of the section manager, the selected candidate will perform or assist with BIM/CAD templates setup, project technology planning, assist with the generation of BIM/CAD standards and implementation plans, and other technology related plans, protocols or workflows. The BIM Designer's additional tasks include working to maintain BIM quality and fidelity, adherence to BIM plans, and adhering to modeling and information standards. Additional responsibilities will include implementation of effective information protocols and workflows between internal project teams and external consultants. Likewise, the selected candidate will coordinate with firm wide design technology section to develop, document, and communicate best practices for BIM standards, templates, and content. The BIM Designer must be familiar with advanced architecture, engineering, and construction industry practices and familiar with MEP 3D coordination processes. The selected BIM Designer will perform clash detection, develop 4D/ 5D models, construction sequencing analysis, and will work with 3D laser scanners, virtual/ augmented reality devices, and other related technologies in conjunction with related software packages.
