This opportunity resides with Global Security (GS). Mission Technologies’ Global Security (GS) group comprises live, virtual, constructive (LVC) solutions; fleet sustainment; nuclear and environmental; and Australia business.

As a trusted partner to our military customers, HII designs, develops and operates the largest LVC enterprise that prepares warfighters for cross-domain battle. With advanced technologies to enable mission readiness, HII understands that preparation requires full coordination—not readiness in piece-parts.

For more than 40 years, the U.S. Navy has entrusted HII to maintain and modernize the vast majority of its fleet. With a holistic approach to life-cycle maritime defense systems—from small watercraft to submarines, surface combatants and aircraft carriers—HII ensures a high state of readiness.

HII supports the Department of Energy’s national security mission through the management and operation of its sites, as well as the safe cleanup of legacy waste across the country. HII meets clients’ toughest nuclear and environmental challenges.

Leadership at HII is a mindset, not a title. Through our Leadership Capability Framework, we define how every team member contributes to our mission and culture:

• Know & Grow Your People: Commit to learning and supporting team success.
• Build Relationships: Communicate openly, collaborate well, and build trust.
• Take Ownership: Deliver on commitments and take pride in your work.
• Customer First: Focus on the mission and those we serve.
• Shape the Future: Bring ideas, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
• Act with Urgency: Take initiative and follow through with purpose.

These capabilities guide how all employees contribute to our shared success across Mission Technologies.
