Shipboard Controls Technician- Norfolk, VA
About The Position
Noblis MSD is seeking an Engineering Technician based in Norfolk, Virginia, to support U.S. Navy machinery control and shipboard systems for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. The role provides waterfront support for installation, checkout, troubleshooting, testing, and verification and validation (V&V) of modernized Machinery Control Systems (MCS). This is a primarily onsite position involving work aboard ships and at shipyards and naval stations. When not aboard ship, the waterfront work environment may include shared trailer workspace.

During active ship availabilities, the typical schedule is 10-hour days Monday through Friday and an 8-hour day on Saturday. Schedules may shift based on ship installation and test requirements. Hours beyond the standard 40-hour workweek are compensated at straight time.
