• TMMG is seeking an experienced Assistant Hull Manager to support construction of Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) #1 at the shipyard. This individual will assist the shipyard’s program and hull management team with coordinating technical issues, managing documentation, tracking work items, verifying work readiness, and supporting shipboard execution and completion.
• The position requires an experienced shipbuilding professional who can work independently, follow issues through resolution, and coordinate effectively with Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, Scheduling, Quality, Testing, Purchasing, subcontractors, customer representatives, and the Navy.
• The Assistant Hull Manager will help ensure that technical questions receive timely responses, work items move through required approval and purchasing processes, and shipboard activities align with construction priorities. This person will also help identify constraints before work begins and verify that completed work has the inspections, testing, and documentation needed to support system turnover.

5. Shipboard Work Coordination

• Track the shipboard execution status of approved 4E work items with shipyard personnel and subcontractors.
• Coordinate daily implementation activities among Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Testing, subcontractors, customer representatives, and the Navy.
• Help resolve conflicts involving work sequencing, access, overlapping activities, technical information, and competing priorities.
• Identify constraints preventing work from starting or progressing and coordinate their resolution.
• Monitor assigned work against agreed priorities and required completion dates.
• Communicate scope questions and proposed changes to appropriate shipyard decision-makers.
• Support coordination of installation, inspection, and testing activities to reduce avoidable delays and rework.

6. Completion Verification and Turnover Readiness

• Coordinate verification of completed work with Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Testing, and subcontractors.
• Help confirm that required installations, inspections, tests, and supporting records are complete before work items are reported closed.
• Track outstanding deficiencies, incomplete work, and missing documentation through resolution.
• Support shipboard walkthroughs to compare reported completion status with actual field conditions.
• Coordinate readiness reviews for systems approaching testing or turnover and identify remaining actions.
• Maintain visibility of required inspection records, test results, approved changes, and other completion documentation.
• Report discrepancies between stated progress and verified completion to hull management.
