Job Specifics

Duties Description Under direction of the President and CEO and in close collaboration with VP of Design and VP of Construction the purpose of this position is to coordinate major design and construction projects for the Battery Park City Authority with a central focus on the North West resiliency project. The N/W resiliency project is a 1.4-mile-long flood protection system which is currently in design and expected to start construction in 2025. The SVP’s primary role is to ensure the project is delivered on time, on budget, with a high level of design quality and careful management of quality of life for the BPC neighborhood during construction. The project has an approximately 5-year construction timeline.
