There’s never been a better time to join the shipbuilding industry. As demand for cutting‑edge naval technology grows, General Dynamics Electric Boat continues to lead the way—designing, building, and maintaining the world’s most advanced submarines. Our work is mission‑critical, supporting the U.S. Navy and strengthening national security.

The Groton D379 Project Engineering Team is seeking a highly motivated Supervisor to lead and develop a team of Module Leads and general foreman support engineers supporting SSBN 826 construction. This leadership role is responsible for guiding engineers who serve as the primary technical point of contact between Engineering and Operations for assigned modules and general foreman.

The Supervisor ensures the team is equipped to provide timely engineering support, drive closure of issues affecting construction progress, and maintain strong communication across trades, engineering disciplines, and shipyard management. This role is pivotal in supporting first‑of‑class construction and ensuring modules progress through assembly, outfitting, test, and delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Module Leads and General Foreman Support
• Engineers, ensuring strong technical performance, effective communication, and alignment with shipyard priorities.
• Oversee engineering responses to emergent shipyard issues; ensure assessments are communicated clearly to trade leadership and shipyard management.
• Direct the team’s daily support to the trades, enabling efficient navigation of disclosures, work packages, build sequence questions, and technical clarifications.
• Prioritize and track drawing revisions, change notices, and other engineering actions required to support construction schedule needs.
• Set expectations for Module Lead participation in production meetings (startup, plan of the day, shift turnover) and ensure accurate reporting of holdups, risk areas, and action statuses.
• Collaborate with Operations, Planning, and Engineering leadership to integrate technical risks into project discussions and develop forward‑looking mitigation strategies.
• Guide the team’s coordination of multidisciplinary engineering evaluations supporting manufacturing, construction, testing, and certification events.
• Maintain awareness of shipyard policies, processes, and major evolutions, ensuring the team provides informed, consistent technical guidance.
• Support government certification events and interface with internal and external stakeholders as necessary.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering
• Minimum of 4 years of post graduate engineering experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of Teamcenter and COLUMBIA‑Class design
• Experience with CR/CN processes and engineering change management
• Familiarity with shipyard organizational structure and procedures

The ideal candidate demonstrates strong leadership capability along with excellent interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills. Candidates should be highly motivated, able to manage multiple priorities, and excel in a collaborative environment while guiding teams through complex technical and schedule‑driven challenges. Lastly, candidates should have strong written and verbal communication skills.
