Job Description

Are you interested in working for the nation’s largest water and wastewater utility?

If so, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), with over 5,500 employees providing service to 8.5 million residents of New York City, and more than 1 million residents in Upstate New York, is the place for you. We have a unique and exciting career opportunity for one candidate to work on matters involving employee discipline and labor relations, and related human resources matters. Our selected candidate will be enthusiastic, dynamic, and highly motivated; have the ability to communicate effectively with people from a diverse range of backgrounds; and have the desire and passion to take challenges and to be successful.

The NYC Department of Environmental Protections’ Office of Labor Relations & Discipline (“LR&D”) researches matters related to labor law and employee discipline. The unit works with Attorneys at the Mayor’s Office of Labor Relations and the NYC Law Department on litigation matters involving the Agency. LR&D also coordinates with the New York City Department of Investigation and the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board on matters within their purview.
You will join an energetic team responsible for supporting the DEP’s mission and strategic goals. You’ll work closely with senior level management, with the goal of resolving disciplinary issues and labor relations matters.

DEP’s Office of Labor Relations and Discipline is seeking an experienced candidate to serve as Director of Labor Relations. Under general direction, with significant latitude for the exercise of independent judgment, the selected candidate will serve as the Agency’s chief liaison with DEP’s labor unions, will convene labor-management meetings, take the lead in resolving workplace issues presented by labor leaders, and sit on the health and safety and Quality of Work-Life Committees. The selected candidate will also be responsible for handling all Downstate contractual grievances, and for representing the Agency at grievance arbitrations and at improper practice hearings. Additionally, the successful candidate will participate in the collective bargaining process, handle non-disciplinary terminations under Sections 71 and 73 of the Civil Service Law and will train supervisors and managers on topics related to labor relations and discipline.
