WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"These ships are more than training facilities; they are ready for action, capable of immediate response anywhere in the world. These ships have NEVER been built before; they are brand new and extremely complex. By joining our workforce, you can be part of something big that’s never been done before."
John Bond, Project Director & NSMV Program Manager
"I like to tell people I make “Lego” instructions for building ships—by breaking them down into smaller pieces called, you guessed it, blocks! Previously, I worked on dry docking jobs to flip ships—like houses—but I really wanted to be part of a new build."
Mary Leonard, Building Methodology Planner
"We’re getting back to our roots. Shipbuilding is fascinating and totally consuming. You start out with a piece of steel and then before you know it, it’s floating out of here. There’s nothing like it."
Michael Giantomaso, Vice President, Human Resources
"As a detail planner, I schedule and manage the supply chain for our cabin building operations. I definitely like the power of being in charge and responsible for making things happen. The NSMV project is exciting to me because of challenges like figuring out how to warehouse so many cabins at one time which is all new to us at the shipyard."
Michelle Jessloski, Detail Planner
"This is a Game Changer—we’ve walked through the door of a new chapter and we’re not going back. Having a diverse book of business will change us forever. We’re building great ships at a terrific price—and that’s a big deal."
John Graykowski, Government & Regulatory Advisor
