5+ years of management experience preferred.

Strong knowledge of Navy vessels, NAVSEA standards, ship construction methods, and government contracts.

Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and federal contracts.

Experience with work sequencing and scheduling.

Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Project (or similar scheduling software).

Strong leadership, organization, and communication skills.
