NAVSEA Shipyard Work Packaging & Control Support (submarines) Company: Strategic Technology Institute, Inc. (STi)
Location: Guam (NAVSHIPYD & IMF DET GUAM) – 100% on-site / waterfront shipyard environment
Clearance: Active Secret (minimum required)
Position Type: Full-Time ABOUT STi
Strategic Technology Institute, Inc. (STi) supports national security missions across Engineering • MRO • Logistics • IT & Cybersecurity • Program Control. STi is a minority-owned Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) focused on delivering effective, flexible, and innovative solutions that help customers meet mission objectives. POSITION OVERVIEW
STi is seeking a Work Packaging & Control Support professional to support Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY&IMF) as it establishes NAVSHIPYD & IMF DET GUAM. This mid-level (7+ years) role sits at the center of waterfront execution—ensuring non-nuclear task packages are complete, accurate, ready for issue, and auditable so production shops can execute work efficiently during shipyard availabilities. This position is not a testing authority role. Instead, you’ll focus on the “production package” side of the house: assembling and controlling TGIs/JOs into executable packages, confirming required documentation is included, coordinating with planning/material/QA/shops to close gaps, and supporting release and closeout/certification workflows. PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
You will support non-nuclear work packaging and control processes, including: • Assemble, package, and control work documents for execution: compile Task Group Instructions (TGIs), Job Orders (JOs), and supporting attachments into clear, production-ready task packages. • Release and certify TGIs/JOs grouped into task packages in direct support of the work execution phase of a project (per Government workflow and approvals). • Ensure “Ready for Issue” completeness by verifying packages contain the right technical references (drawings/spec excerpts/procedures), required QA documentation/hold points, and any applicable execution notes needed by the shop. • Coordinate with Planning/Project Teams/Technical Codes/QA/Production Shops to resolve package gaps (missing references, unclear instructions, misaligned scope, incomplete attachments, etc.). • Track and coordinate material, special tools, and equipment readiness—ensuring packages align with schedule milestones and execution windows. • Compile and coordinate packaging of TGIs/JOs and supporting documentation so work can be issued without preventable delays. • Perform post-completion package reviews: validate documentation quality, ensure required closeout artifacts are present, and support certification/turnover activities as required. • Maintain disciplined document control and traceability practices to support shipyard auditability and configuration integrity in a high-tempo waterfront environment. • Communicate package status, risks, and impediments to Government stakeholders and provide recommendations for resolution (for Government review/approval).
Note: All contractor-prepared recommendations/documents are subject to Government Technical Lead review and approval prior to issuance. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS • U.S. Citizenship required • Active Secret security clearance required (minimum) • 7+ years of relevant experience in a controlled environment (e.g., SUBSAFE, DSS-SOC, FBW SCS and/or Level I) supporting shipyard/waterfront availabilities in work packaging, production control, planning support, or ship maintenance documentation roles • Demonstrated experience assembling/controlling work packages (e.g., TGIs/JOs or comparable shipyard tasking documents) for execution and closeout • Strong ability to read/interpret technical documentation (drawings, procedures, specifications) and translate it into clear, executable, auditable work packages • Proven coordination across cross-functional teams (planning, production shops, QA, material, engineering/tech codes) in schedule-driven environments • Working knowledge of MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS • Submarine availability experience or complex HM&E maintenance environment exposure • Familiarity with shipyard planning/documentation ecosystems (e.g., AIM/AIMxp outputs, technical data repositories/drawing indexes, shipyard work control interfaces) • Experience aligning packages with material planning (long-lead vs stock), special tools/equipment, and execution sequencing constraints • Direct hands-on experience packaging/releasing work where SUBSAFE/DSS-SOC/FBW SCS/Level I requirements were invoked (including attachment control, QA holds, and turnover/closeout artifacts) • Prior mentoring/coaching of junior personnel on documentation discipline and shipyard execution workflows WORK ENVIRONMENT • 100% on-site in Guam, waterfront shipyard / availability execution environment • Work may involve shipboard/industrial spaces and shipchecks as needed to support planning/testing coordination • Overtime up to ~5% may be required to support emergent needs (as approved by the COR/CO) WHY JOIN US? • Opportunity to contribute to forward-deployed Navy operations in Guam. • Supportive team environment with mission-focused leadership. • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
