• TMMG is seeking an experienced Senior Waterfront / Liaison Engineer to provide full-time, on-site engineering support to shipyard during the USS Beloit (LCS-29) Post Shakedown Availability (PSA) at BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair in Jacksonville, Florida.
• The engineer will serve as TMMG's on-site technical representative and a primary waterfront engineering Point of Contact supporting shipyard personnel, shipyard trades, and sub-vendors during execution of shipboard work.
