Senior Counsel

New York City | Legal Affairs

Senior Counsel

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 stormwater, 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's Bureau of Legal Affairs, headed by General Counsel Elissa Stein Cushman, serves as in-house counsel to DEP and is hiring for a Senior Counsel within the Infrastructure, Operations and Litigation Support Unit. With latitude for independent judgment and decision-making, the Senior Counsel will assist in implementing procurement policy and best practices; supervise attorneys handling a broad array of legal work related to DEP's infrastructure and operations, including matters relating to the review and approval of non-capital procurement contracts; draft and negotiate inter/intra municipal agreements, property-related documents, and grant agreements; review legal documents required in regulatory permitting matters; and handle other matters as needed. The attorney will interface extensively with DEP bureau and executive staff, consultants, and other government agencies, and liaise with the City's Law Department, which represents the agency in litigation. The work will require the application of strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills, including navigating and aligning conflicting priorities among diverse groups to achieve both near term and long-term goals while ensuring successful future collaboration.

Executive Agency Counsel - 95005
