DESIGN ENGINEER INTERN

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 6000 employees. DEPs water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the systems 2000 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 $35B and another $13.6B 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 BEDCs core values of safety schedule quality and customer service. IHD supports projects from the capital project initiation process through preliminary design design procurement construction and finally with the turnover to operations. IHDs 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. IHDs Engineering Services includes the Quality Assurance Laboratory Services Specifications/Standard Operating Procedures Sustainability and BIM/CADD sections. The Engineering Services division focuses on projects 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.

BEDC seeks to hire an Environmental Engineering Intern to support the Process Mechanical/HVAC section located in our Lefrak Office in Queens NY.
