Additional responsibilities include providing engineering support to skilled trades and performing various office tasks typical of a small office environment.

  • Regularly assess the work of skilled trades and collaborate with the Quality Control department to facilitate necessary corrections.
  • Conduct regular meetings, both formal and informal, with trade foremen and contractors to establish clear expectations regarding responsibilities and completion timelines.
  • Coordinate daily scheduling of trades to optimize workflow and prevent conflicts.
  • Identify and manage critical path items to ensure timely delivery of vessels.
  • Provide constructive feedback to trade foremen and their teams regarding the quality of work performed.
  • Engage and negotiate with vendors and subcontractors to achieve production objectives.
  • Monitor material flow to avert work stoppages due to missing supplies.
  • Relay feedback from trades to the engineering department to enhance the quality of drawings provided to production teams.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvements and, upon approval, oversee their implementation until completion.
  • Understand and apply standards outlined in 46 CFR T, K, F, and J, as well as ABS Steel Vessel Rules.
  • Act as a liaison for inspectors from regulatory bodies when present at the shipyard.
  • Solicit quotes for equipment and parts necessary for production and fabrication.
  • Perform other tasks as assigned.
