Conduct or support legally sensitive workplace investigations, including allegations of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, misconduct, policy violations, employee dishonesty, conflicts of interest, and other significant workplace concerns; assess investigative findings and advise on corrective or remedial action.
Advise on significant workforce and operational initiatives, including reorganizations, changes in schedules or work rules, implementation of new technologies, emergency operational measures, and other actions with employment or labor‑law implications.
Draft, review, and advise on employment and labor policies, procedures, agreements, guidance documents, and employee communications, ensuring legal compliance, consistency with applicable collective bargaining obligations, and effective implementation across NJ TRANSIT’s operating units.
Under the direction of the Deputy General Counsel, supervise, mentor, and develop Assistant General Counsel and other assigned attorneys; assign work, review work product, provide constructive feedback, and ensure high‑quality, timely, and consistent legal services.
Manage outside counsel, experts, investigators, and legal vendors for assigned matters and support matter reporting, budgeting input, and participation in departmental initiatives.
Support and participate in the monitoring of developments in employment, labor, civil‑service, and transportation workforce law; assess their potential impact on NJ TRANSIT; and work with business leaders to implement appropriate changes to policies, practices, training, and compliance controls.
