Transportation Planning and Management (TPM) is responsible for the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible movement of people and goods on the City's streets, supporting the larger goals of economic and social vitality for people living, working, and doing business in New York City. The Division’s responsibilities include roadway project planning, roadway design, technical analysis, maintenance of street signs, transit development, freight mobility, and roadway markings. TPM’s Design & Construction (D&C) unit has professional engineering oversight for geometric design elements of NYC roadways. We draw on expertise and talent of Civil Engineers, Urban Designers, Planners, Asset Managers, Inspectors, Administrators, Analysts, and others to evolve and maintain the curb geometry and street plans for all NYC’s 6300+ miles of roads, create and maintain official pavement marking and concrete island plans, and oversee the application and refurbishment of NYC’s 250+ million linear feet of pavement markings (stripes, messages, colored surface treatments for bus/bike/plaza, etc.).

D&C seeks an experienced and motivated candidate to support the pavement markings program with a primary focus on implementing citywide safety efforts and supporting Vision Zero initiatives, including bike lanes, bus lanes, intersection daylighting, curb management treatments, enhanced crosswalks, and other traffic-calming and pedestrian safety measures. The Markings Program Coordinator will coordinate contractor installation of roadway safety markings to deliver safety projects while also supporting Street Improvement Projects and maintaining a state of good repair across the broader markings network. The role emphasizes program coordination, process controls, and cross-unit collaboration to support all Vision Zero objectives.
The successful candidate will manage all categories of roadway markings, including refurbishments, marking after resurfacing, Street Improvement Projects, and in-house markings for new signal installations, stop signs, and speed humps. Working closely with the Deputy Chief of Construction, the candidate will establish standards and workflows, balance workloads, monitor contractor performance, and support training and knowledge-sharing to ensure consistent delivery project delivery. Additional responsibilities include coordinating daylighting and pavement markings with resurfacing programs; participating in interagency and internal meetings; and working with Borough Commissioners’ offices, agency leadership, planning units, contractors, and in-house crews. The candidate will assist in managing multiple contractors and support the delivery of approximately $40 million in roadway markings annually, ensuring work is properly assigned, prioritized, and tracked to meet all performance targets and Key Performance Indicators, with particular emphasis on safety outcomes associated with the Daylighting Initiative. The ideal candidate should lead collaboratively, communicate effectively, and support staff development while maintaining a strong focus on accountability and continuous improvement.
