The New York City Department of Correction (DOC) is an integral part of the City’s evolving criminal justice system, participating in reform initiatives and strategies aimed to move the city towards a smaller jail system without compromising public safety. The DOC is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for our employees, visitors, volunteers, and people in our custody.

The Executive Director will play a key leadership role in planning and implementing these initiatives, serving as the primary liaison with the NYC Department of Design and Construction and contracted vendors, ensuring high levels of coordination and policy implementation.

The responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Overseeing the construction of four new correctional facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.
  • Leading a team of project managers, coordinators, and specialists.
  • Managing large-scale capital construction projects, including design and construction of jail facilities.

  • Developing expertise in jail operations and correctional best practices.
  • Overseeing site preparation, environmental testing, and infrastructure work.
  • Ensuring new facilities support the Department’s goals.

  • Knowledge of construction procedures, city regulations, permits, and project management software.
