Position Description This position is open until filled. However, priority will be given to candidates who apply by July 25, 2023 Are you passionate about integrating racial equity practice into innovative green infrastructure, sustainable water management, and community resilience? Do you love working with multi-disciplinary teams to plan and design high-value projects in complex urban settings? Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is recruiting a Capital Program Manager for the Drainage and Wastewater Line of Business. This position will lead a team that collectively delivers capital improvements within equity priority areas of Seattle. The Capital Program Manager manages the team’s $15-$40M per year budget and prioritizes and balances work across the team members. The projects and programs delivered by the team focus on high-risk and high priority drainage and wastewater system challenges, including improving water quality and aquatic habitat, resolving urban flooding and sewer capacity, reducing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), and increasing water resilience in Seattle through a race and social justice lens. Through capital improvements, the team strives to achieve the community vision and goals of Shape Our Water , including improving community and environmental health, increasing resilience, creating multi-benefit investments, and building community-centered partnerships. The team’s projects and programs are delivered, whenever possible, in conjunction with private and public partners to save money and provide greater community value. In addition to leading the team, the Capital Program Manager is responsible for initiating and guiding to completion a subset of the capital projects and programs within equity priority areas of Seattle. To be successful in delivering holistic projects to community, this may require grants to support the work that drainage funds cannot support, such as anti-displacement strategies. This position is a great opportunity to help improve Seattle by: Strengthening SPU’s ability to deliver racially equitable programs and projects that are responsive to community priorities, including anti-displacement, economic justice, climate resilience, etc. Expanding the use of green infrastructure and other sustainable water management approaches to maximize community benefits. Deeply embedding racial equity in deciding what, where and how capital projects and programs are implemented. Meaningfully engaging with community stakeholders. Aligning utility investments with mobility, open space, and livability improvements in partnership with other City departments and agencies.
