Position Summary:

The Senior Technical Project Manager will serve as the primary technical authority and owner's representative for the NYC Ferry Tier IV vessel conversion project, which involves upgrading five (5) K-Class Tier 3 passenger vessels to meet EPA Tier IV emissions standards. This role requires a unique combination of marine engineering expertise, design review proficiency, and construction management experience. The position holder will act as the critical bridge between design consultants, shipyard contractors, regulatory authorities, and operational stakeholders, with a primary mandate to prevent costly change orders through rigorous technical review and to ensure successful project delivery on schedule and within budget.

This individual will wear multiple hats throughout the project lifecycle, serving as both a technical design reviewer who validates engineering deliverables and identifies potential constructability issues, and as an on-site construction manager who ensures quality execution and regulatory compliance. The ideal candidate will possess the technical depth to catch design errors before they reach the shipyard, the practical experience to foresee construction challenges, and the project management skills to coordinate multiple concurrent vessel conversions while maintaining NYC Ferry operational requirements.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Design Review & Change Order Prevention
Lead comprehensive technical reviews of all vessel design packages, including general arrangements, construction plans, structural modifications, propulsion systems, exhaust systems, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems, electrical systems, cooling systems, and piping systems to identify gaps, conflicts, errors, and omissions before construction begins
Review and validate vessel design deliverables from Incat Crowther (naval architect), E4 Power (exhaust system designer), and other technical consultants to ensure completeness, accuracy, constructability, and compliance with specifications
Conduct detailed constructability reviews to identify design elements that may be difficult, impossible, or excessively costly to build, flagging these issues for resolution during the design phase rather than during construction
Coordinate technical reviews between multiple engineering disciplines to ensure proper integration of the Tier IV propulsion system, cooling system modifications (keel cooler vs. raw water cooling analysis), exhaust and SCR systems, urea storage and delivery systems, and electrical modifications
Proactively identify incomplete specifications, missing details, ambiguous instructions, or contradictory information in design documents that could lead to contractor Requests for Information (RFIs), delays, or change orders during construction
Maintain detailed design review logs documenting all technical questions, consultant responses, design changes, and outstanding issues, ensuring traceability and accountability throughout the design process
Review Baudouin engine specifications, SCR system components, and OEM requirements to ensure compatibility with vessel design and proper integration with cooling, exhaust, fuel, and electrical systems

Bid Package Development & Shipyard Selection Support
Develop comprehensive bid packages that provide shipyards with complete, accurate, and unambiguous information necessary to submit responsive cost proposals, technical approaches, and realistic schedules
Define technical specifications, work scopes, quality standards, inspection protocols, testing requirements, and deliverable expectations for shipyard conversion work
Clearly delineate owner-furnished equipment (engines, design packages, regulatory approvals) from shipyard-furnished labor and materials to prevent scope gaps and ensure accurate pricing
Support shipyard evaluation process by reviewing technical proposals, assessing shipyard qualifications, capabilities, and past performance, and providing technical input to selection recommendations
Respond to technical RFIs from prospective shipyards during the bidding process, providing clarifications while maintaining fair competition among bidders

Construction Management & Owner's Representative Duties
Serve as the primary owner's representative throughout vessel construction, acting as the technical authority on behalf of NYC Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and HNY Ferry II, LLC
Conduct regular on-site inspections at the selected shipyard to monitor construction progress, verify work quality, ensure compliance with approved drawings and specifications, and document construction activities
Review and approve (or reject) shipyard submittals, shop drawings, material certifications, and equipment cut sheets for conformance with design intent and project specifications
Witness and document critical construction milestones, including engine removal, structural modifications, engine installation, SCR system installation, exhaust system installation, electrical integration, system testing, and sea trials
Evaluate all shipyard change order requests for validity, technical merit, cost reasonableness, and impact on schedule, providing recommendations to EDC for approval or rejection
Manage the RFI process during construction, ensuring shipyard questions are answered promptly and that all clarifications are properly documented and communicated to relevant parties
Oversee vessel commissioning activities, including engine testing, systems integration testing, emissions testing, performance validation, and sea trials to ensure vessels meet all Tier IV requirements and operational specifications
Develop and manage vessel punch lists, tracking deficiencies through resolution and ensuring all warranty items are properly documented and addressed before vessel acceptance

Regulatory Compliance & Coordination
Coordinate with U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Marine Safety Center for review and approval of design documents, including general arrangements, stability books, electrical systems, and other regulatory submittals
Ensure all vessel modifications comply with applicable U.S. Coast Guard Subchapter K regulations, EPA Tier IV emissions standards, and other federal, state, and local requirements
Facilitate regulatory inspections during construction and commissioning, coordinating with USCG inspectors, EPA representatives, and other authorities as required
Review and approve stability calculations, lightship check procedures, and final stability books to ensure vessels meet regulatory requirements for passenger safety

Technical Coordination & Stakeholder Management
Serve as the primary technical interface between naval architects (Incat Crowther), exhaust system designers (E4 Power), engine suppliers (Hornblower Marine Propulsion/Baudouin), shipyards, third-party consultants, and EDC
Coordinate technical decisions across multiple disciplines to ensure integrated solutions that meet operational, regulatory, and budgetary requirements
Work closely with NYC Ferry operations and engineering teams to understand operational constraints, maintenance requirements, and fleet integration considerations
Provide technical presentations and status reports to EDC leadership, addressing project risks, design decisions, construction progress, and cost/schedule impacts
Facilitate resolution of technical disputes between project parties, maintaining collaborative working relationships while protecting owner interests

Project Controls & Documentation
Maintain comprehensive project documentation including design review records, meeting minutes, inspection reports, construction photographs, test results, change order logs, and correspondence files
Monitor construction progress against approved schedules, identifying delays or acceleration opportunities and recommending corrective actions to maintain project milestones
Track project costs against budget, validating shipyard invoices and payment applications before recommending approval for payment
Participate in bi-weekly project status meetings with EDC, providing updates on design progress, construction activities, risk mitigation efforts, and upcoming milestones
Prepare monthly construction progress reports documenting work completed, quality observations, schedule status, budget performance, and key issues requiring attention or decision
