As part of a highly skilled team, you will directly impact mission success by ensuring propulsion and power generation systems remain fully operational in a dynamic, high‑tempo environment. If you are looking to apply your expertise on a global stage while supporting the warfighter, this position offers both challenge and purpose.

• Assist with logistics support, including validation of Allowance Parts Lists (APLs) and identification of required repair parts.
• Provide on‑the‑job training (OJT) and technical guidance to ship’s force personnel on operation, maintenance, and repair procedures.
• Document all work and findings using Navy systems (e.g., MFOM/NMD, FTS) and prepare formal reports/debriefs in accordance with the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (JFMM).
• Participate in development and refinement of technical documentation, including Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRCs), procedures, and manuals.
• Support Engineering Technical Branch (ETB) efforts, including system analysis, repair planning, and technical evaluations.
• Travel as required to support forward‑deployed naval forces across multiple operational areas.

Minimum Requirements

• Active Marine Gas Turbine Inspector (MGTI) Certification (NEC 4136 or U07A) in accordance with OPNAVINST 9220.3 (must be current at time of hire and maintained throughout employment).
• Demonstrated experience in the maintenance, installation, testing, and repair of U.S. Navy shipboard gas turbine engines (e.g., propulsion and ship service gas turbine generators).
• Proven ability to perform independent troubleshooting, fault isolation, and corrective maintenance at a journeyman level.
• Experience supporting U.S. Navy HM&E systems in an operational or maintenance environment.
• Familiarity with Navy maintenance and reporting systems such as MFOM/NMD, FTS, and CASREP processes.
• Ability to interpret and apply technical manuals, drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently, including extended OCONUS deployments and shipboard embarkation.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications (not required)

• Experience supporting DDG-51, CG-47, or LCS class ships.
• Hands‑on experience with LM2500 gas turbine engines and associated control systems.
• Background in Gas Turbine Readiness Reviews (GTRRs), engine change‑outs, or major overhauls.
• Experience working in a forward‑deployed or OCONUS operational environment, supporting naval forces in high‑tempo, mission‑critical settings.
