The org's own posting, as written

Reports to: Senior Construction Project Manager Department: Capital Projects Job Type: Full-Time/Exempt Schedule: 7:30am – 3:30pm (Monday through Friday) About the Central Park Conservancy Central Park is one of the most famous and beloved urban public spaces in the world. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1857, the 843-acre park was the first purpose-built public park in the country and is a National Historic Landmark. The Park sees a unique and extraordinary level of use, with over 42 million visits per year.

The Central Park Conservancy (“the Conservancy”), a private not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1980 to rescue the Park, which had fallen into serious disrepair at that time. Since its founding, the Conservancy has grown to be fully responsible for the physical maintenance and upkeep of the Park through a management agreement with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. To date, the Conservancy has overseen the investment of approximately $2 billion in the restoration of the Park, employs nearly 400 people, and has an operating budget of $120 million.

The Capital Projects department is responsible for and supports the Conservancy’s efforts of restoration and stewardship of Central Park, with an ongoing program of work that includes historic and ecological landscape and water body restorations, redesign of playground and recreation facilities, infrastructure modernization and a wide range of architectural rehabilitation projects. The department is approximately 30 people composed of primarily planners, landscape architects, and architects whose focus includes the planning, design, and construction of projects of varying complexity, program, and scale.

Most recently, the Capital Projects department was responsible for the completion of the award-winning Davis Center in the Northend of the Park and the restoration of the Conservancy Garden.
