With more than 25,000 employees – including third-, fourth- and even fifth-generation shipbuilders – HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division is the largest industrial employer in Virginia. We’re the sole designer, builder and refueler of U.S. Navy nuclear aircraft carriers and one of two providers of U.S. Navy nuclear submarines. Our diverse and innovative team ranges from skilled trades to project managers, engineers, software developers, solution architects, technical subject matter experts and system users.

Anchored in our 135-year history, we collaborate at the forefront of technology, manufacturing and integration of the most powerful and survivable naval ships in the world.

Riggers are highly specialized in moving jobs that cannot be accomplished by ordinary means and use equipment expressly designed for moving and lifting objects weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds in places where ordinary material handling equipment cannot go. Because of the highly specialized nature of the work, riggers learn on the job. Riggers must work together as a cohesive team, and there must be an environment of trust because of the potentially dangerous nature of rigging.
