C) Production Support​/ENG​/Shipboard Configuration​/Production Readiness Specialist

Background check, US Citizenship, and a drug screening are requirements for this position. Pending client approved candidate. 95% travel.

TMMG is seeking an experienced Production Support / Engineering Change / Shipboard Configuration / Production Readiness Specialist to provide onsite support to shipbuilding and ship repair programs at Fincantieri Marinette Marine (FMM).

This is a hands-on shipyard position that works at the intersection of Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, Scheduling, Material, Configuration Management, and Program Management. The individual will help determine whether planned work is ready and executable, identify conditions preventing production from moving forward, coordinate resolution across responsible organizations, and verify that completed work reflects approved engineering and configuration requirements.

The position requires someone who is equally comfortable reviewing drawings, engineering changes, work orders, production and material data at a computer and walking aboard the vessel to determine what is actually installed, incomplete, incorrect, or preventing the trades from completing their work.

The successful candidate will serve as a direct link between engineering requirements and deck-plate execution, helping FMM identify and resolve production constraints before they affect major construction, test, launch, and delivery milestones.

Success in this position is not measured simply by the number of engineering changes or work orders reviewed. The objective is to keep production moving.

The individual should consistently identify problems before they affect major milestones, provide Manufacturing with accurate and executable technical information, drive unresolved engineering and production issues to closure, maintain an accurate picture of actual shipboard configuration, and give FMM and TMMG leadership confidence that reported production status reflects what is actually happening aboard the vessel.

The position ultimately helps reduce production delays, prevent unnecessary rework, improve engineering-change execution, protect critical schedule milestones, and improve the flow of information between Engineering and the shipyard workforce.

• Production Readiness and Workability
• Review production orders, work orders, parent items, engineering changes, drawings, material status, and schedule requirements to determine whether planned work is ready for Manufacturing execution.
• Research work that cannot be executed and identify the specific condition preventing completion.
• Determine the actions necessary to make work executable and identify the Engineering, Planning, Material, Manufacturing, Scheduling, Configuration Management, or other organization responsible for resolution.
• Investigate the following production constraints: material shortages or unavailable components, incomplete predecessor work, unreleased or incorrectly structured work orders, drawing or design discrepancies, bill of material or configuration discrepancies, incorrectly incorporated engineering changes, production sequencing conflicts, administrative or scheduling issues, and differences between documented configuration and actual shipboard conditions.
• Work directly with responsible organizations to resolve identified constraints and return work to an executable status.
• Support production priorities based on vessel milestones, schedule requirements, critical-path activities, and Manufacturing needs.
• Engineering Change and Configuration Support Review
• Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), drawings, work packages, production orders, and supporting technical information to determine applicability and completion status.
• Perform shipboard validation of engineering changes and configuration requirements.
• Determine whether engineering changes have been fully incorporated into the vessel and identify incomplete, incorrectly implemented, or unverified work.
• Research production orders, material, drawings, parent items, and associated documentation supporting open engineering changes.
• Determine the path necessary to move incomplete engineering changes from unresolved status through production completion and final verification.
• Maintain accurate change-status and configuration information for assigned vessels or projects.
• Validate hull or vessel applicability of engineering changes and identify discrepancies between engineering records and actual ship configuration.
• Support equipment foundation,…
