Information Technology Assistant Manager

The Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice (MOCEJ) integrates sustainability, resiliency, and environmental justice into one coordinated approach across several climate and environmental offices, including the Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) and the Office of Environmental Coordination (OEC), all working to make our buildings efficient and resilient; our infrastructure climate ready; our streets, open spaces and public realm active, safe and healthy; and our energy clean and resilient. MOCEJ is committed to improving environmental quality for all, prioritizing front line communities, seeking to redress current and past injustices and inequities while creating economic opportunities for all. Through science-based analysis, policy and program development, and capacity building, MOCEJ leads the City’s efforts to ensure that New York City is minimizing its contributions to climate change, preparing to adapt and protect New Yorkers from extreme weather and multiple climate hazards, and giving every New Yorker a meaningful voice in our city’s future.
The NYC Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) designs and implements the City’s brownfield cleanup and redevelopment initiatives. Foremost among these is the NYC Voluntary Cleanup Program (NYC VCP), the nation’s first municipally-run cleanup program, which offers remedial oversight and liability protection to property owners and developers of over 80 sites each year. Brownfields are sites where redevelopment is complicated by the presence of contamination, such as from prior site uses, historic fill, or chemical spills. The office manages the NYC Clean Soil Bank that arranges the reuse of clean soil from deep excavations to provide substantial financial and environmental benefits.
OER also supports Community Brownfield Planning Areas and administers the Brownfield Incentive Grant (BIG) program, which provides funding for the investigation and cleanup of brownfield sites as well as grants to community-based organizations conducting planning around brownfields. Additional OER programs and initiatives include the E-Designation Review Program for hazardous materials, air quality, and noise; Green Property Certification; and community engagement activities.
