IPS Analysis Chief (Associate Project Manager 2)

Description

The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) supplies clean drinking water, collects and treats wastewater, and works to cut air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. It is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the United States, with nearly 6,000 staff. Every day it delivers over 1.1 billion gallons of drinking water to 8.5 million New York City residents and over 1 million people in Upstate New York, and its wastewater system can handle more than 1.3 billion gallons per day.

The city's water and sewer network includes about 140,000 catch basins, 114,000 hydrants, 90,000 valves, 14 gatehouses, 3 reservoirs, 68 groundwater wells, a 100 million gallon underground storage tank, and 7,000 miles each of sanitary sewers and water mains. The Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations (BWSO) maintains these systems.

The IPS Analysis Unit sits within the Division of Operations Analysis and Regulatory Compliance in BWSO. The unit works closely with bureau senior management and technical staff. It tracks and reports on bureau productivity and analyzes and shares collected data for operations, asset management, and financial planning.

You will lead staff who check and standardize operational records kept in IPS (Infor Public Sector), the agency's system of record. You will oversee research, analysis, system support and maintenance, and KPI development on the performance of the water distribution and wastewater collection systems. Field Operations, Distribution Operations, Capital Planning, and Executive Management rely on this data for daily business processes and decisions, so accuracy matters.
