Join Phoenix Group as an Engineering Technician (Supply/Logistics) supporting the Carrier Transition Team (CXT) in Newport News, VA.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience in Navy supply, maintenance, modernization, or related shipboard operations and can quickly connect the dots between material support, repair activity, and shipboard readiness.

• Proactively identify discrepancies in parts ordering, logistics, and material support (especially long-lead items) to help prevent production delays and work stoppages.

• Work across Supply, maintenance, repair, and production stakeholders to anticipate issues, remove barriers, and support timely problem resolution.

• Embed with the crew as a hands-on partner focused on helping sailors succeed and improving overall mission effectiveness.

• Help shape CXT’s short-term and long-term objectives to align with the overarching carrier modernization mission.

Desired Qualifications

• 8+ years of CVN maintenance, supply, modernization, or closely related shipboard experience is highly desired.

• Hands-on experience in a shipyard availability environment is highly desired; RCOH experience is strongly preferred.

• Experience in a CVN Supply department is highly valued, but candidates with substantial experience working closely with Supply, maintenance, repair, or material readiness organizations are encouraged to apply.

• Demonstrated ability to identify issues, solve problems, and operate effectively in a complex, fast-paced operational or maintenance environment.

• Strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills.
