Position Summary

This is an advanced level professional real estate position assigned to the Northeast Region, with substantial responsibility for the oversight of the Department's Local Public Agency (LPA) program and connecting highways as it relates to real estate acquisition. The extremely complex, broad, and sensitive nature of these duties requires a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the Department's real estate program, local public agency requirements, and Federal and State laws, rules, and regulations.
