Traffic Engineering & Planning seeks an experienced motivated candidate to manage a federally funded Brookville Boulevard Flood Mitigation Study. The study will focus on a 4,300’ long segment of Brookville Boulevard between 149th Avenue and Rockaway Boulevard aka Snake Road. It is a critical transportation corridor in Southeast Queens which is highly vulnerable to disruptive flooding from both coastal storms and regular high tides. The objective of the study is to develop a menu of actionable options to mitigate the flooding. The study will involve field surveys such as traffic volume counts for traffic analysis; topographic survey, bathymetric surveys; photogrammetric or LiDAR survey to map and measure features of the area’s land to facilitate a required climate change resiliency assessment, and flood mitigation analysis. The candidate will be responsible for project coordination and management activities related to the alterative scenarios’ evaluation as well as coordinate activities with other agencies, consultants, and internal project sponsors to identify and ensure the resolution of issues and conflicts that arise. The candidate should be familiar with grant management and budgeting procedures.

The candidate will be expected to have some understanding of public outreach/community engagement and be prepared to attend public and community organizations meeting and to communicate effectively with all stakeholders. Additional responsibilities may include but are not limited to: attending technical meetings, provide engineering support to the agency, prepare reports and correspondence, review and process consultants payments and requisitions, monitor progress of project and electronically update progress schedules, establish project schedules, coordinate project activities and liaise among primary agencies and other participants to ensure assigned projects/tasks are done properly and on schedule.
