About The Position

This position supports project teams in identifying, assessing, and mitigating execution risks to help ensure successful completion of complex work at Electric Boat’s offsite Focus Factories. The Program Representative serves as D377’s onsite presence at these locations and works with internal and external stakeholders—including engineering, ship’s management, site personnel, and regulatory agencies—to support successful execution of high-risk work. The role is based in the Groton shipyard and requires travel to Focus Factories. It involves both Propulsion Plant and Non-Propulsion Plant construction activities and requires schedule flexibility, including off-shift and weekend work, to support ship events and test programs. The position uses the Risk Assessment and Mitigation (RAMP) process to support readiness for first-time and high-risk work. The representative develops knowledge of submarine construction processes, facilitates risk reviews, independently reviews risk assessments and mitigations, supports engineering engagement in construction Learning Sessions, oversees engineering surveillances of construction and testing, and coordinates Senior Management Review Teams for complex tasks. Electric Boat offers flexible work arrangements that may allow some work to be performed remotely or at home. Availability varies by position based on classified-material requirements and other factors; candidates are advised to discuss applicability with the department.
