As the Deputy Project Superintendent I serve at the technical advisor and full assistant to the FMR Project Superintendent. I am responsible for multiple (upwards of 10) concurrent or overlapping surface craft availabilities. Our support ranges from emergent Casualty Repair/Fleet Technical Assist calls, to innovative I-level work in the production shops, and the D-level “heavy lifting” capability provided by the Waterfront Operations Department and their private commercial industrial partners as they overhaul and maintain ships throughout their deployment cycle.

I am responsible for planning through completion of ship repair and modernization projects encompassing DVMAV, EMAV, CNO etc. I provide daily oversight of shipbuilding personnel to include shipyard tradespeople and contractors to include a review of work performed for completion and first time quality. Additionally, I monitor work progression to ensure milestones and key events are successfully attained.

The identification of work scope, specifically new or emergent work, is a daily task as systems are opened and assessed for additional repairs. An integral part of identifying work scope includes the assessment of resource constraints and material allocation. I am well versed in this area and can make quick and calculated decision to ensure no resource days are lost. Through the process of identifying work scope I implement operational improvements. As a part of those improvements I am working with HRMC and Code 103 to build an integrated schedule to improve communication across the surface craft repair world and rebuilding relationships that have long been strained affecting our ability to keep our ship fit to fight.

The surface craft repair world is complex and requires me to be well versed with different customers that have a direct link to our endeavor towards on time ship delivery. Our customers include Shipyard managers, various trade shops, engineers, Ship CO’s, project managers, and sailors. I brief senior management on the production schedule, cost, resource allocation, material issues, schedule delays, and successes. I provide updates on customer and corporate issues participating in scheduled operational meetings as in routine with team leads and employees.

My primary duty as the Code 300N Nuclear Production Training and Resource Manager is to manage, from a program oversite perspective, all aspects of the Nuclear Production Training Program. I am responsible for the training and qualification of 500 to 600 nuclear production workers and evaluate the work performed by 60 to 80 instructors and supervisors.

I evaluate the nuclear training program development, progress, and performance and recommend improvements. I evaluate the planning and coordinating duties of responsible instructors and supervisors. I directly converse with other department training managers from the Nuclear Engineering and Planning Department, the Radiological Controls Department, and the Production Resources Department to coordinate technical program reviews and assessments to include corporate initiatives. I conduct financial reviews to establish baseline estimates and strategies to ensure we train the required number of workforce and plan for additional funding or resources to ensure the programs are operating at full capacity and throughput is at its maximum program ability. I evaluate organizational changes (e.g., changes to mission, technology, fiscal resources) to plan for future workforce development needs.

I am responsible for teaching, motivating, enabling, and empowering a team of training personnel through the journey of continuous learning and improvement. I ensure that training decisions are made with the best interest of the corporation, the student, and the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard Leadership Philosophy, vision, and values, in mind. I review lesson plans and monitor classroom activities to ensure the product being delivered provides value to the customer and is presented in such a way that is most effective. I also develop, recommend and sometimes implement new approaches, methods, or procedures for the nuclear training program. I develop supporting documentation to identify or justify changes or improvements to training program functions.

I take independent action and make decisions on highly technical and unusual problems and policies that involve complex and varied matters associated with nuclear production training. For example, when the Production Training Department administers retention of knowledge exams which results in higher than expected failure rates, I am responsible for assessing the data, stopping production work if necessary, and assisting the team with the correct and most effective and efficient course of action.

I assist cross-functional teams such as The Production Training Department and The Radiological Controls Department with the implementation of revisions to technical manuals and instructions, such as NAVSEA 389-0288 ACN 50. I oversee the team’s plan of actions and milestones and assist with leading the team’s vision through a phased transition which moves the Shipyards nuclear training program from the “one size fits all” approach to a tailored principle based training within the nuclear trade skill network. The effort requires comprehensive, detailed knowledge of functional responsibilities and department policies which impact the Shipyards Nuclear Program. The team’s responsibility is to improve efficiencies in training by incorporating radiological controls training into nuclear trade skill training, by eliminating division between the departments. The end goal of building a partnership between both entities will enhance workforce development and proficiency by ensuring that workers train, test, and work cohesively, in a manner that reflects actual waterfront work. The team is responsible for high- level change management within a complex system.

Additionally, I serve as the Nuclear Production Workload and Resources Report (WARR) subject matter expert. I ensure that nuclear production shop plan and schedule work on long and short-range goals and I ensure that schedules and priorities established by higher authorities are met. I evaluate the nuclear production shops WARR in efforts to anticipate problems that may arise in accomplishing unusual jobs. I project future production output and required workforce needs to meet organizational requirements and regulatory compliance. I provide advice and ask questions to evaluate Nuclear Directors thought processes in WARR maintenance. I evaluate the impact of new resource levels (e.g., budget cuts, increased need) to update estimates of resource requirements for a program. I manage resources and risks to optimize cost, schedule, and performance objectives for a program. I analyze human resources development statistical data to identify trends or workforce characteristics that may require program changes or enhancements.

I ensure the department carries out EEO policies and act as the subject matter expert when determining equality in the identification of qualifications, selections, assignments, training, promotions, details, discipline, and awards to employees. Every personnel action within the department is evaluated and feedback is compiled, if necessary, by myself. If personnel obstacles exist they are removed or reduced by using teamwork, empathy, and humility to ensure our current and future employees are treated with the utmost care. I have participated in and have led evaluation boards for hiring employees in various departments in the Shipyard. I collaborate with my peers to perform formal and informal personnel investigations and endeavor towards fair, ethical, and expeditious actions.
