Communicate and support internal and external resources (staff, facilities, and equipment).
Create project milestone plans, schedules, and contract work breakdown structures as appropriate.
Responsible for project budget, schedule, monitoring, and completion of goals and milestones in accordance with approved plans.
Conduct recurring reviews of technical progress, financial, and risk mitigation plans.
Oversee development of program artifacts including CONOPS, digital engineering deliverables, and sustainment documentation.
Engage directly with government stakeholders to ensure timely resolution of issues, alignment with shipyard schedules, and program objectives.
