Martinac Shipbuilding Corporation, Marine Pipefitter 08/2009- to present Delphinus Engineering Marine Pipefitter Team Leader DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES: I began my career in Federal service in 1968 when I joined the U.S. Navy. After receiving my honorable discharge in 1971, for many years I worked as a plumberpipe fitter, underground mines maintenance and pipefitter, security guard and painter helper while going to community college, until being hired by PSNS as a WG-08 pipefitter. After working on ships for a few years, I was promoted to work leader and became familiar with the processes necessary for promotion to supervisor. I was also a fully qualified nuclear/radiological worker for eleven years which consisted of mostly building nuclear test equipment and testing support equipment for the ships and the engineer. In 2000 I received my promotion to first-line supervisor, in 2004 I made permanent. During my tenure as a supervisor, I have worked on surface craft and have been the coordinator for the Alternate Work Assignment organization. I have also assumed the duties of zone manager on occasions and have performed the duties accordingly. As a pipefitter supervisor and stand-in zone manager, I communicate technical information as well as convey work instructions both orally and in writing clearly and effectively to employees and first-line supervisors (when assigned zone manager duties) under my cognizance. I have experience in conducting technical briefings and meetings involving various levels of Shipyard management concerning work schedule, manning, and forecasting. In my experience as a supervisor and zone manager, I have gained the ability to convey detailed instructions to personnel of various knowledge levels and understanding. I can organize and express my thoughts both orally and in writing as well as understand what others are trying to convey. I utilize computers when I prepare technical reports, audit responses, memorandums, and other correspondence. My duties as a first-line supervisor require me to discuss and negotiate technical issues involving pipefitting processes. I have considerable experience in interacting with representatives from various organizations including technical codes, ship’s force, NAVSEA, vendors, and private contractors in order to resolve complex technical issues and problems. Through my work experience, I have gained considerable skill in presenting and supporting controversial issues. Whether serving in the capacity of supervisor or zone manager, I am required to make decisions in an expeditious manner with the regards to schedule, or manning changes. I have the ability to direct the correction of deficiencies in order to remain on schedule. I maintain my own records in order to track multiple work tasks and key events that must occur simultaneously. I am consistent with persevering adherence to priorities and take steps to ensure I am informed at all times. I have knowledge of subordinate positions and job descriptions through my work in the resource department. This knowledge allows me the ability to assign work as well as to evaluate and assign personnel accordingly. I have held the position of Pipefitter Supervisor 1 at PSNS since 2000 and permanent Supervisor since 2004. While performing these assignments, I have directly supervised groups of five to twenty-five workers that included helpers, journey level pipefitters, and apprentices involved with non-nuclear shipboard work evolutions. During the performance of these duties, I review work packages, assign work, monitor the progress, prepare reports on the progress, monitor work in progress, inspect the work accomplished, and certify the completed work. I have experience with prioritizing work based upon available resources and schedule adherence. In the planning stages of work, I have acquired the ability to evaluate the requirements of technical, safety, hazardous materials, waste, and other regulatory issues. I have the ability to recognize, foresee and plan for contingencies and anomalies that have the potential to occur. Through my supervisory experience at PSNS, I have developed the ability to evaluate work and select the best manner in which to accomplish it. This includes alternative methods of installation and testing of shipboard systems. I control the work of several people simultaneously in order to complete work evolutions within scheduled time frames. It is a requirement of me as a supervisor to analyze problems that occur and provide guidance on how best to overcome them. I am trained to recognize deficiencies and also to direct and suggest corrective actions. I have experience with building work process teams. Most of the support I receive is the result of my leadership skill and ability to gain the willing support of others. I have developed the ability to identify “root” causes of problems to deficiencies and work stoppages. Resolutions are based upon past practices and lessons learned, which in-turn, allow me to determine effective corrective actions. In situations where my own experience may be lacking, I am able to recognize my limitations and will seek the specific knowledge from other individuals who may possess the information I require. With my experience, I am able to recognize situations where specific training is required. I am also trained to formulate plans for long-range and short interim situations. In my present position, I supervise a production crew of pipefitters aboard the air craft carriers at different times. I have done some pipefitting on submarines so I have a working knowledge of them. I review the progress of the apprentices and monitor their performance and mentor them for supervisor. My duties as a zone manager have required me to make the determination as to when work should be assigned, scheduled, monitored and inspected in order to avoid problems upon completion. My knowledge of surface vessel non-nuclear mechanical systems is extensive. I worked and supervised (both at first and second level) personnel assigned to me in non-nuclear production, test, pre-fabrication, welding, brazing and fit up and quality control. I possess a good working knowledge of Shipyard function, organization, chain of command, operational procedures, engineering, and trade policies relating to Navy ships. My position as supervisor and zone manager has necessitated I obtain a working knowledge of NAVSEA technical manuals, Process Instructions, MILSTANDARDS, and other technical information. I am also required to interpret guidelines for technical work, personnel management, and the preparation of local shop instructions. I have limited experience with interfacing with contractors to identify NAVSEA and Shipyard specifications. I have become familiar with the legal processes of the Shipyard in regards to employee relations, EEO, discipline, and assignments. EDUCATION: High School graduate (GED) Phoenix AZ.
