About The Position

Truestone, LLC is seeking Shipboard & Inside Plant Installation Technicians (Level II) to join their Maritime Installation Team (MIT). Technicians in this pool will support critical multi-program requirements across naval and shore-based defense installations. Initial assignments include supporting high-tempo Maritime Integration Team (MIT) tasking, inside plant cable installation and preparation for upcoming program rollouts, and technical integration/testing across fleet platforms (such as CTII and CIVMAR). Candidates will cross-train and flex between programs—such as CTII, TARCES, CIVMAR, SCORP, SEAWATCH, ILMS, and STRS3—based on operational tempo and shipyard availability. This position is contingent upon contract award and funding. Applicants selected may be hired but cannot begin work until funding has been confirmed.

Requirements

High School Diploma / GED and 2-4 years of progressive C4I shipboard integration or electronics maintenance experience.
Demonstrated proficiency in basic cable running, stuffing tubes, multi-pin/coax/CAT6 terminations, and hand/power tool operation in an industrial maritime setting.
Must be a U.S. Citizen eligible to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance and successfully pass all HireRight background checks.
Must be able to obtain and maintain unescorted rapid access badging (DBIDS/Defense Biometric Identification System) for local military bases and private/naval shipyards (including Norfolk Naval Shipyard / NNSY and Newport News Shipbuilding).
Must be able to work in confined spaces, climb vertical ladders, lift and carry up to 100 lbs, and navigate industrial shipboard deckplates in all weather conditions.
Willingness to support overtime, weekend work, and modified shift work (e.g., 4x10s and 2x8s) during high-tempo installation sprints.
