Who We Are

The Maritime Operations team, part of Mission Technologies-Global Security-Nuclear & Environmental Services, is hiring an early career Mechanical Engineer to join their team in Newport News, VA.

In this role, you'll support the reactor servicing department at Newport News Shipbuilding. This team provides on-site engineering support for the fueling, refueling, and defueling of U.S. Navy nuclear reactor plants.

What You Will Do

• The ideal candidate will possess a strong desire to learn and will immediately enter the Shift Refueling Engineer training and qualification pipeline.

• Candidates for this position will qualify as a Navy Shift Refueling Engineer, where waterfront and shipboard shift work will be the normal, and will be responsible for direct engineering oversight and control of nuclear reactor servicing work within a highly industrial environment.
• Upon qualification, Navy Shift Refueling Engineers will transfer from Mission Technologies to Newport News Shipbuilding.

What You Must Have

• 0 years experience with Bachelors in related field.
• Candidate must have a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering or a related field.
