• Provide operational configuration of Non-Traditional IT software applications and devices when required by the Navy. Work with manufacturers to allow complex configuration of Non-Traditional IT software applications and devices.
• Replace/Restore operational configuration on control system components.
• Maintain onsite operational software configuration. Keep two separate operational software/firmware configuration backups for each device in a GSA Approved locked storage container.
• Perform Configuration Management (CM) for all operational devices (non-traditional IT devices).
• Interface with Schneider Electric Critical Systems, Caterpillar Intelligent Switchgear Organization, and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division to apply patches to the systems.
• For Sensors, Actuators, Controllers, and Control Protocol Hardware, check with manufacturer and/or NAVSEA Philly for firmware and operating software updates. Apply updates within (30, 90 days).
• Contact, coordinate, and interface with Chief information officer (CIO) on Cybersecurity and cyber hygiene.
• Coordinate onsite operational and maintenance training to ensure all operators are trained per requirements from, but not limited to: Schneider Electric Critical Systems, Caterpillar Intelligent Switchgear Organization, and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, Edwards Fire Safety, ABB and L-3.
• Maintain historical operational data and respond to data requests.
• Generate Review Change Requests for system configuration changes for both new construction and repairs.
• Develop, review, approve and perform change validation procedures, which are defined as verification of implementation of changes.
• Inspect and assure quality of validation procedure implementation.
• Provide field level technical oversight of any contractor working on the system and review project submittals and procedures, providing comments to the contracting officer.
• Provide on-site engineering analysis and tech assist to solve complex engineering-level system casualties, issue reports and debriefing services.
• Maintain, modify, and manage non-IP and non-Ethernet networking infrastructure.
• Submit to NAVFAC CIO operational user requirements, user authentication, and admin access requirements.
• Ensure that personnel that perform operations and maintenance or read/write on controls systems are Information Assurance Technical (IAT) Level II certified and complete all annual training.
