The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) protects public health and the environment by supplying clean drinking water, collecting and treating wastewater, 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 delivers more than 1.1 billion gallons per day of the highest quality drinking water to 8.3 million NYC residents and more than 1 million people in Upstate New York and has a wastewater conveyance and treatment system capable of processing over 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater per day to protect the environment and the city's surrounding waterways. The Bureau of Environmental Compliance's (BEC) mission is the enforcement of environmental laws and regulations, which affect the health and safety of the public and environment. Specifically, the bureau enforces the City's Asbestos regulations as well as the Air and Noise Codes. The Bureau is comprised of the Division of Air & Noise Policy, Permitting and Enforcement and the Asbestos Control Program. These divisions respond to; air and noise code complaints; inspect and track asbestos removal projects; and foster the goals of environmental protection. Responsibilities also include certifying asbestos handlers, inspecting and issuing operating certificates to stationary combustion and industrial process sources, and implementing the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The BEC seeks to hire an Associate Air Pollution Inspector III within the Air Enforcement unit, located in Lefrak, in Queens, NY or the Brooklyn Office. Under general supervision, with some latitude for independent action and decision, the selected candidate will conduct, plan and direct the operation of Citywide inspections of air and noise pollution sources to secure compliance with laws, rules and regulations with the goal to effectively reduce or eliminate conditions contributing to air & noise pollution. The selected candidate will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Manhattan office. The selected candidate will also track all timecards, and metrics for that borough and assist senior staff with special operations. The Associate Air Pollution Inspector may act as a liaison with the city and other governmental agencies, and may act in the temporary absence of the supervisor or Deputy Director.
