Job requirements

  • Typically 5+ years of experience and a Bachelor's degree or equivalent education/work experience. Brings solid, hands-on expertise and can operate independently across a wide range of responsibilities.
  • Exposure to Earned Value Management (EVMS) — either as a practitioner, an auditor, or a program leader who has had to make decisions off of it.
  • Prior experience inside a shipbuilding, heavy-manufacturing, aerospace, or large defense program — especially one navigating a customer relationship with the U.S. Navy or a prime shipbuilder.
  • Experience standing up an operating cadence for a fast-growing team or program — battle rhythms, review structures, planning cycles, tracking systems.
  • Comfort working across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, and workforce functions simultaneously — this role sits at the seam of all of them.
