This role sits at the seam between the Port Alpha Development Program, which builds the shipyard, and the operating organization that will run it.\nAs each building, crane, shiplift, panel line, utility system, and support area is completed, this role drives it through acceptance, turnover, and operational readiness: documentation, training, spares, maintenance plans, and the people and procedures needed to run it on day one. In parallel, it establishes how external trades and contractors are onboarded, supervised, measured, and held to the yard's safety, quality, and schedule standards, so that the mix of internal and contract labor needed to ramp production never becomes a source of friction or risk.\nThis role works closely with Asset Reliability & Facility Operations, Production, Production Engineering, EHS, Quality, Supply Chain / Procurement, the facility construction team, and the Site Project Management Team. It requires someone comfortable running a disciplined turnover process while also managing the field-level realities of contract labor on a live construction and production site.\nResponsibilities:\nFacility Integration & Operational Readiness\nOwn the asset-by-asset integration plan for the new facility: define what 'ready to operate' means for each building, system, and major piece of equipment, and track every asset against it.\n\nRun the acceptance and turnover process with the construction team and vendors, including commissioning witness, punch list closure, turnover packages, as-builts, and warranty handover.\n\nEnsure operating procedures, operator and maintainer training, critical spares, and preventive maintenance plans are in place before an asset is released to Production or Facility Operations.\n\nCoordinate operational readiness reviews and manage the risks and open items that could delay the start of production in each area.\n\nContractor & Trade Partner Integration\nOwn the integration of subcontracted trades, specialty contractors, and trade partners into shipyard operations, from initial scoping through demobilization.\n\nEstablish clear expectations for contractor performance, supervision, and accountability, and act as the primary escalation point for contractor issues affecting production or readiness.\n\nEnsure contractor scopes are sequenced with internal work and with facility turnover so that crews, access, and SIMOPS are deconflicted.\n\nDevelop the yard's long-term model for using contract labor at scale, including governance, oversight, and the internal capability needed to manage it.\n\nOnboarding, Standards & Field Execution\nDesign and enforce standardized onboarding for all contractors covering safety orientation, site-specific requirements, quality and workmanship standards, work rules, access controls, and communication protocols.\n\nEnsure contractors understand how work is planned, sequenced, and released in the yard, and close gaps between contract scope language and actual execution requirements.\n\nSupport development of trade school and workforce partnerships that feed qualified trades into the yard.\n\nSafety & Quality Alignment\nPartner with EHS to ensure contractor compliance with shipyard safety rules, permit-to-work systems (hot work, confined space, work at height), SIMOPS coordination, and exclusion zones.\n\nPartner with Quality and Production to ensure contractor crews are qualified for assigned scopes (welding, coatings, electrical, machinery, and others) and that their work meets yard standards.\n\nSupport incident investigations involving contract labor and drive corrective actions to closure.\n\nPerformance Management & Governance\nEstablish contractor and turnover performance metrics tied to safety outcomes, quality and rework, schedule adherence, and workforce reliability.\n\nLead regular performance reviews with contractors and internal stakeholders, and support decisions on contractor continuation, expansion, or removal.\n\nReport integration status, readiness risk, and contractor performance to the VP, Shipyards and site leadership.\n\nCross-Functional Coordination\nServe as the day-to-day interface between the Port Alpha Development Program, Asset Reliability & Facility Operations, Production, Planning, Quality, EHS, and Procurement on all integration matters.\n\nPrevent conflict between internal crews, external trades, and construction contractors by clarifying ownership, interfaces, and handoffs.\n\nDrive rapid resolution of field-level issues that threaten turnover dates or production schedule.\n\nQualifications:\nRequired\nBachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Industrial Management, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.\n\n7+ years of experience in shipyard, heavy industrial, or large capital construction environments.\n\nDirect experience commissioning, accepting, or bringing new industrial facilities, production lines, or major equipment into operation.\n\n3+ years managing subcontractors, specialty trades, or contract labor programs in an active production or construction setting.\n\nStrong understanding of shipyard or industrial safety requirements, permit-to-work systems, quality and workmanship standards, and multi-trade sequencing and interfaces.\n\nProven ability to resolve contractor performance issues and turnover disputes without disrupting production.\n\nStrong organizational and written communication skills; comfortable owning a readiness tracker, turnover packages, and performance reporting.\n\nPreferred\nExperience on a greenfield shipyard, major yard expansion, or other large industrial startup.\n\nFamiliarity with cranes, shiplifts or dry docks, panel lines, blast and paint facilities, and marine industrial utilities.\n\nExperience with labor agreements, union environments, or mixed internal and contract labor models.\n\nBackground in contractor safety programs and field compliance auditing.\n\nLean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement experience.\n\nFamiliarity with ABS, USCG, or NAVSEA requirements and with security considerations for government shipbuilding work.\n\nPhysical Demands\nProlonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer\n\nOccasional standing and walking within the office\n\nManual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment\n\nVisual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports\n\nOccasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies\n\nLifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)\n\nBenefits\nMedical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents\nDental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium under the basic plan for employees and 80% for dependents\nTime Off: Generous PTO and Holidays\nParental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents\nCompetitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses\nRetirement Plan: 401(k) plan with company match\nStock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success\nLife and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage\nPet Insurance: Discounted pet insurance options including 24/7 Telehealth helpline\nAdditional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office\nSaronic CCPA Notice for Candidates and California Employees\nIf this role is based in the United States, it requires access to export-controlled information or items that require “U.S. Person” status.
