About The Position

T-Solutions is seeking a Combat Systems Port Engineer (CSPE) to serve as its onboard representative and help ensure assigned ships’ operational readiness. The CSPE routinely validates shipboard conditions through observation and evaluation, leads a maintenance team, and represents the Type Commander (TYCOM) and Commanding Officer in off-ship maintenance and modernization efforts. The role relies on knowledge of each assigned ship’s operational and maintenance needs to support mission readiness. The CSPE works with ship crews and leadership to assess and prioritize maintenance, develop and integrate work packages for industrial availabilities, monitor repair execution, and provide engineering recommendations on modernization and ship repair. The position includes 5–15% travel to Fleet Concentration Support areas and frequent underway time for trials, testing, inspections, ship checks, deployments, and related events. Candidates must be U.S. citizens with a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and a valid passport or the ability to obtain one. An active DoD Secret clearance is highly desired; candidates eligible to obtain and maintain one may be considered, with a contingent offer and start date established after the clearance is fully adjudicated. The role requires maintaining communication with a supervisor or manager when away from the office, using personal equipment and services for business purposes; compensation includes incidental costs for that work-related use.
