Submarine Base information

What is a submarine base?

A submarine base is a specialized military facility designed to support the operations, maintenance, and logistics of submarines. These bases typically provide docking facilities, repair and refueling services, crew accommodations, and training centers for submarine personnel. Submarine bases are strategically located to allow for quick deployment and secure storage of submarines, including those carrying nuclear weapons. They play a crucial role in the defense infrastructure of a country's navy.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Submarine Base Operations Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Submarine Base Operations Manager, you need a strong background in military logistics, facility management, and safety protocols, often supported by a relevant degree and experience in naval operations. Familiarity with security systems, maintenance management software, and compliance certifications such as OSHA are typically required. Leadership, problem-solving, and effective communication are standout soft skills for coordinating teams and ensuring operational efficiency. These skills and qualifications are crucial for maintaining base security, supporting submarine readiness, and ensuring the safety of personnel and assets.

What are some common challenges faced by personnel working at a submarine base, and how can new employees prepare for them?

Personnel at a submarine base often face the challenge of working in a highly secure and regulated environment, which requires strict adherence to protocols and procedures. The work can be physically demanding and may involve irregular hours or shifts, especially when supporting submarine operations or maintenance. New employees can prepare by familiarizing themselves with security protocols, developing strong teamwork skills, and maintaining flexibility in their schedules. Building a good rapport with colleagues and seeking mentorship from experienced staff can also help ease the transition into this unique and rewarding work environment.

What is the difference between Submarine Base vs Submarine Technician?

AspectSubmarine BaseSubmarine Technician
Primary RoleSupports submarine operations, maintenance, and logistics at naval basesPerforms technical maintenance, repairs, and inspections on submarine systems
Work EnvironmentNaval bases, shipyards, military facilitiesOnboard submarines or at maintenance facilities
Required CertificationsMilitary security clearances, basic technical trainingTechnical certifications, specialized submarine system training

While a Submarine Base oversees the overall operations and logistics of submarine support facilities, a Submarine Technician focuses on the technical maintenance and repair of submarine systems. Both roles are essential in the naval industry but differ in scope and daily responsibilities.

Job description

Overview
Department 451 (D451) Waterfront Electrical Engineering is an integral part of Electric Boat's New Construction business. With this business, Electric Boat provides mission-ready submarines to the fleet through construction, test, and post-shakedown deck-plate support. D451 engineers provide engineering support for work activities on submarines, including the planning, execution, and certification of work.
D451 consists of four distinct groups that supports the construction of submarines for the US Navy:
  1. Reactor Plant Electrical
  2. Non-Propulsion Electrical Engineering
  3. Propulsion Plant Electrical Engineering
  4. Instrumentation, Design & Test

D451 Engineering operates in a collaborative, dynamic, team-oriented manner. Using a design-build approach, D451 interfaces with Operations, Design, Planning Yard, Test, and Program Office personnel in order to arrive at innovative solutions to difficult problems. Additionally, interaction with the United States Navy (USN) customer is typical, including the Supervisor of Shipbuilding Groton (SOSG), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), subcontractors, and submarine crews.
D451 Engineering supports submarine construction work locally and at off site locations including Quonset Point, Rhode Island and Newport News, Virginia, as well as Naval Submarine Base New London. Strong written and verbal communication skills are utilized and fostered. A hands-on, proactive, deadline-driven engineering approach is the norm. Awareness and understanding of military specifications, submarine shipbuilding specifications and design criteria, USN maintenance/overhaul requirements, and special emphasis programs are developed through mentoring and training.
Tasks required of the D451 waterfront electrical engineer include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Planning of submarine upgrade, troubleshooting, and repair work. This includes the development of troubleshooting courses of action and writing / peer reviewing technical work documents.
  • Interpretation and translation of shipbuilding specifications, technical manual procedures, and contractual requirements.
  • Deck-plate support and resolution of emergent issues. Ability to work in shipyard environment and onboard ships is required.
  • Development of technical rationale to support approval of nonconforming conditions.
  • Collaboration with engineers of other disciplines, including mechanical, nuclear, and structural.
  • Hardware and software design and development of data acquisition systems.
  • Data collection and supporting software development.

Travel, evening, weekend and overtime work are sometimes required based on department needs.
Electric Boat offers Flexible Work Arrangements that allows some work to be performed remotely and at home. This varies from position to position based on the amount of classified material the department interacts with, as well as a few other variables. Please ask for more details on how it applies to this opening during discussions with the department.
