(C) Vessel Construction Management Test Analyst
About The Position
The McHenry Management Group (TMMG) is seeking an experienced Vessel Construction Management (VCM) Test Analyst to support the Landing Ship Medium (LSM) Program. Working as part of the Vessel Construction Management Team, the VCM Test Analyst serves as the owner's independent technical representative responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting on shipyard Test & Evaluation (T&E) activities throughout vessel construction. Unlike traditional shipyard test engineers who execute production testing, the VCM Test Analyst provides independent oversight of the shipyard's testing program. The position evaluates test planning, monitors system completion, assesses test readiness, reviews Phase 6 and Phase 7 test procedures, identifies technical and schedule risks, tracks deficiencies, and provides objective assessments of testing progress to the VCM leadership team. Working closely with Engineering, Production, Planning, Quality Assurance, Supply Chain, ABS, OEM representatives, and shipyard Test & Trials personnel, the VCM Test Analyst helps ensure each vessel is constructed, tested, documented, and delivered in accordance with the overall Program Test & Evaluation Strategy while supporting consistent testing practices across all participating shipyards.
