Maritime Engineering Technician II - Suffolk, VA

Shipboard & Inside Plant Installation Technicians (Level II)

Truestone, LLC is expecting a growth spurt on one of our contracts. We are looking to hire Shipboard & Inside Plant Installation Technicians (Level II) to join our Maritime Installation Team (MIT). Technicians in this pool will support critical multi-program requirements across naval and shore-based defense installations.

Initial assignments include supporting high-tempo Maritime Integration Team (MIT) tasking, inside plant cable installation and preparation for upcoming program rollouts, and technical integration/testing across fleet platforms (such as CTII and CIVMAR). Candidates will cross-train and flex between programs—such as CTII, TARCES, CIVMAR, SCORP, SEAWATCH, ILMS, and STRS3—based on operational tempo and shipyard availability.

Responsibilities:

• Shipboard Installation & Integration:
  Execute physical installation, removal, modification, and testing of shipboard C4I, electronic, and electrical systems in accordance with NAVSEA standard items, cableway specs, and engineering drawings.
• Inside Plant & Infrastructure Preparation:
  Perform cable pulling, multi-pin connector termination, rack populating, cable routing, banding, labeling, and pre-installation staging for inside plant communication suites.
• System Testing & Grooming:
  Assist in system-level evaluations, power checks, continuity checks, fiber/copper testing, and troubleshooting across active naval systems.
• Workforce Adaptability:
  Flex between multiple programs within the MIT operational group (CTII, CIVMAR, SCORP, SEAWATCH, ILMS, STRS3) as task schedules and shipyard milestones dictate.
• Safety & Hazard Mitigation:
  Strictly enforce site Emergency Action Plans (EAP), OSHA maritime standards, tag-out procedures, and environmental hazard precautions (e.g., proper handling of heavy blast proof/watertight shipboard closures).
• Operational Reporting & Timekeeping:
  Maintain accurate daily logs, report installation progress to site leads and Program Managers, and comply with strict Service Contract Act (SCA) time-recording standards.
