Job Description

The role assesses exterior and interior elements alongside ADA surveys to synthesize findings and recommend priorities. Reports help set budgets for capital needs in diverse building types.
The City of New York runs the NYC Department of Design and Construction, specializing in public buildings throughout the five boroughs. They manage portfolios from 19th- and 20th-century structures to modern facilities, addressing conditions, accessibility, and resiliency.
