As the City’s primary capital construction project manager, we build many of the civic facilities New Yorkers use every day. We provide communities with new or renovated structures such as firehouses, libraries, police precincts, courthouses, senior centers and more. Our work doesn’t stop at buildings-we also design and improve vital infrastructure.
Our staff delivers roadway, sewer and water main construction projects in all five boroughs. We provide sidewalks, street reconstruction, water mains, sewers, and pedestrian ramps-quality infrastructure that is essential for a healthy, resilient city.
To accomplish all this work, DDC contracts with several consultants and contractors who submit approximately 4500 payment requests annually. DDC seeks a Senior Capital Payment Accountant to review and process these payment requisitions. To process these requisitions, the candidate will be expected to conduct mathematical computations and forensic research; review, audit and prepare payment vouchers; identify correct commodity and accounting lines; verify change orders and task order registrations (in FMS3); and adjust payment voucher(s) due to liens, claims and assignments. The candidate will use the DDC automated ledger system to record and track payments. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and run payment reports as needed and learn DDC’s applications for processing payments (PIMS, CPS and PDMS). On an as needed basis the candidate will also provide mid-level approval of prepared vouchers by other staff.
