• Senior enlisted advisor to the commanding officer on proper administration, supervision, maintenance, and operations of a nuclear power plant and all associated mechanical and electrical systems.• Manage and mentor 5 engineering department supervisors in the day to day management of 82 personnel. • Develop, administer, and assess an integrated training and qualification program that steadily improves department functionality and efficiency. This resulted in an advancement rate of over 50% during my tenure.• Senior project manager of several major maintenance periods culminating in 100% material and crew readiness for extended operations at sea.• Prepare and submit monthly assessments on departmental readiness to the Naval Nuclear program headquarters. • Directly responsible for ensuring all nuclear propulsion program standards are met during external audits• Liaison between government contractors and the ship for major repairs and upgrades to ship’s equipment.

Norfolk, Virginia

• Directed a team of 14 engineering leaders in the reliability monitoring of critical hull, mechanical, and electrical systems resulting in a cost savings to the navy of over $2 million.• Continually gathered and analyzed performance data while identifying existing and anticipated system deficiencies to ensure safe, reliable, and cost-effective submarine operations.• Compiled data for effective maintenance planning and extended component service life, which would otherwise be rotated out on a time-based maintenance plan.• Assisted and advised Naval Sea Systems Command engineers in researching design changes, monitoring, and testing new submarine technology.• Managed a $1.1 million equipment inventory with 100% traceability and accountability.• Daily communication with Navy Headquarters on developing trends and recent equipment failures that occurred on Norfolk area submarines. Provided input on required course of actions for repairs.• Provided training to submarine supervisors on maintenance planning and technical requirements for their equipment. This directly raised performance and maintenance completion for all submarines in my area.

Groton, Connecticut

• Managed 20 nuclear propulsion plant mechanical operators in the day to day performance of maintenance and operations onboard a submarine. Maintained 100% readiness for extended at sea operations.• Planned and managed execution of over 2000 preventative and corrective maintenance items (yearly) for all steam, reactor plant, and auxiliary mechanical systems on a submarine significantly reducing equipment down time.• Responsible for all quality assurance inspections and documentation on mechanical systems related to submarine safety. Performed follow on audits to ensure strict procedural compliance and technical precision.• Responsible for complying with environmental regulations related to hazardous materials used and stored in my work center. Performed routine audits on proper handling and controls to maintain a flawless safety record.• Planned eight major maintenance periods for the Engineering Department. This involved coordination between 5 departments and numerous government contractors ensuring the ship was ready to execute mission tasking.• Developed technical procedures for various equipment repairs. Example include valve repair, pump mechanical seals, refrigerant leaks, fresh water production systems, heat exchanger cleaning, air compressors, and retests.

Norfolk, Virginia
