The Factory Services team is part of the Shared Services, Systems & Infrastructure (3SI) organization within the Maritime Division. This team owns the technical shared services that every production business line depends on - machining, hydrostatic testing, tooling, 3D printing, and calibration.

What you'll do

• Technical Services Leadership: Oversee all shared technical services including machining, hydrostatic testing, tooling fabrication, 3D printing, and future capabilities such as calibration. Ensure each function is staffed, equipped, and operating to meet the needs of all business lines on site.

• Scheduling and Resource Allocation: Design, implement, and own the scheduling methodology for shared technical resources. Build a system that provides visibility into capacity, demand, and prioritization across business lines. Ensure scheduling decisions are transparent, data-informed, and aligned with site production priorities.

Proactively identify scheduling conflicts and capacity constraints, facilitate prioritization discussions, and ensure equitable access to shared resources. Build strong working relationships with production leads across all programs.

• Team Development: Supervise and develop technical services staff, including machinists, test technicians, and tooling specialists. Set priorities, assign work, and build a culture of responsiveness and accountability. As the team grows, hire and integrate new roles including a dedicated scheduling coordinator.

• Process Buildout: Establish standard operating procedures, work request intake processes, and performance metrics for all shared technical services. Build these processes from the ground up in a way that scales as new business lines and capabilities are added to the site.
