The Marine Structures & Engineering Section provides engineering R&D services for commercial and government customers. We design, analyze, fabricate, and commission pressure vessels of various types for land-based, subsea, manned, and unmanned purposes.
Lead execution of mission-critical, multi-million dollar programs.
• Direct cross-functional teams including engineering, quality, fabrication, and procurement to deliver complex pressure vessel systems from proposal through fabrication and delivery.
• Lead project teams comprised of various specialized functional teams in the area of large article, pressure vessels used in subsea or surface applications from project planning and execution to closeout.
• Own program performance across cost, schedule, technical outcomes, and risk management.
• Coordinate with team leaders to ensure effective communication, foster innovation and resolve conflicts quickly.
• Define, develop, refine, and implement existing or new policies, procedures, and practices related to submergence systems fabrication.
• Drive effective stakeholder engagement across internal leadership, clients, and external partners.
Interface with phase/task leaders and team members to schedule tasks, allocate resources, and execute project objectives as well as communicate status updates to and from internal and external stakeholders.
• Develop and implement project plans that define the processes necessary to meet client, contract, and internal objectives. Establish baseline requirements and monitor performance using key performance indicators.
• Oversee product procurement, corrective actions, and change management, and communicate updates to ensure components, assemblies, and systems meet functional and quality criteria.
• Ensure compliance of project documents such as drawings, material specifications, work instructions, project status reports (technical and financial), and procurement.
• Participate in business development efforts for manned and unmanned pressure vessel projects such as technical presentations, client visits, concept development and/or personnel searches.
Requires a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering or related engineering degree field with related experience.
• P.E. preferred.
• 15+ years: Expertise in project management and data driven solutions for marine/subsurface structural engineering. Familiarity with quality requirements of P-9290 and/or fabrication requirements of Tech Pub 1688 and/or technical requirements of ASME BPVC / PVHO.
• 10+ years: Project leadership, overall and/or task management, and experience including scope definition and proposal development.
• Experience with project data collection & metric tracking, root cause investigation, risk analysis and mitigation strategies.
• Proficiency in fabrication and inspection methods for high-strength steels, advanced metallic alloys, and non-metallics for marine environments.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
