About the role

NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene seeks a Public Health Consultant to lead engineering and science staff focused on building water systems, water safety, and public health outcomes in the built environment. You will guide cross-disciplinary teams to prevent waterborne diseases and strengthen hazard identification. With significant latitude in decision-making, you will shape program strategies, review engineering plans, and mentor staff in inspections, plan review, and maintenance

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
