Duties Description About the Position

Much of that visitation can be attributed to historic capital investments over the past several years. That commitment to revitalizing, modernizing, and repositioning New York’s unmatched system of state parks and historic sites is continuing with at least $200 million in capital funding allocated annually for the next several years. The Office is committed to ensuring that our capital infrastructure is welcoming to the broadest spectrum of visitors as it enters its second century.

• Serves as liaison between the regional offices and Albany Office staff on all matters related to the agency’s capital program to expedite and ensure the completion of capital projects and the appropriate allocation of capital resources in support of agency and regional operations.
• Provides on-site review and inspection of regional capital projects to evaluate effectiveness of project plans, adherence to design specifications, conformance to project timeframes and deadlines, and to identify actual or potential problem areas and unanticipated needs.
• Facilitates internal and external communication to resolve problems or issues affecting agency capital projects.
• Represents the Commissioner and the Governor at various conferences, symposia, seminars, etc.
• As requested by the Commissioner, interacts with the Governor’s Office and agency executive staff, legislature, federal, state, and local officials, as well as corporate, not-for-profit, and professional organizations.
