Vessel Project Construction Management

Project Construction Manager

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

At Blue Origin, we are building the road to space — and that road runs through the ocean. The best-kept secret in space exploration is the critical role of marine assets and the use of one of Earth's most abundant resources — its oceans. The maritime industry has been integral to the exploration of space since its earliest days, with marine crews recovering flight hardware and astronauts since the dawn of human spaceflight.

As the commercial space industry accelerates toward reusability to lower the cost of access to space, the importance of purpose-built marine vessels — and the teams who deliver and operate them — has never been greater.

At Blue Origin, we are assembling a world-class team that pushes the boundaries of vessel development and delivers the simplest, most robust solutions to some of humanity's most complex operational challenges. We are currently executing the new construction of a marine vessel specifically designed to support the at-sea recovery of orbital-class rocket boosters, and we need a team of four Project Construction Managers who will be the boots on the ground at the shipyard — driving daily construction execution from steel cutting through sea trials and delivery.

If you have the ambition, drive, and determination to roll up your sleeves in a shipyard and help build a vessel that will change the world, this is the role for you. We are looking for motivated professionals eager to apply their technical knowledge, hands-on shipyard experience, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
