Lead Shipboard Surveys & Technical Investigations: Lead on-site inspections of naval combat systems. You will identify defects and configuration deviations by comparing physical installations against technical drawings and equipment specs.
Technical Reporting: Translate survey findings into actionable data. This includes entering defects into the DND System of Record (DRMIS), attaching photographic evidence, and recommending corrective engineering actions.
Strategic Analysis: Collaborate with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to identify systemic issues across the fleet. You won't just report one broken part; you'll help identify if that part is failing on every ship in the class.
Project Leadership: Assist in scheduling activities around ship "work periods" and availability windows. Manage monthly status reports with the opportunity to transition into a Task Lead role.
