• Advise Flag Officers on market realities, supply chain dynamics, and commercial cost structures when dealing with the largest construction contractors in the world.
• Identify systemic vulnerabilities in labor markets, capacity, and material pipelines, and deploy commercial market incentives to build resilience and redundancy.
• Formulate modern, collaborative contracting and partnership models (including PAE) that align government needs with commercial business incentives to drive competitive bidding and reduce single points of failure.
• Serve as the primary liaison between NAVFAC senior leadership and commercial sector CEOs, industrial suppliers, and heavy construction market executives.

Technical & Corporate Qualifications:

• Commercial Supply Chain Leadership: Extensive experience as a Chief Procurement Officer, VP of Supply Chain, or Strategic Director within a global construction, manufacturing, or heavy industrial enterprise.
• Market Transformation: Proven track record of successfully expanding, restructuring, or revitalizing contractor and supplier networks to drive innovation, lower costs, and increase agility.
• Strategic & Commercial Advisory: Proven ability to analyze complex industrial labor and commodity markets, translating raw market intelligence into executive strategic advice for C-suite or military Flag-level leadership.
• Private-Sector Contract Design: Deep understanding of commercial risk allocation, profit incentives, joint ventures, and performance-based contracting structures.

Key Position Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
• Must possess and maintain a current Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Must be a US Citizen.
• Must possess and be able to maintain a Secret security clearance.
