Job SummaryTMMG is seeking an experienced Marine Engineer / Naval Architect / Field Engineer to support on-site engineering execution at Eastern Shipbuilding Group (ESG), Port St. Joe, FL, in support of two 400-Class Multi-Purpose Supply Vessels (MPSVs) currently under construction. This position supports TMMG’s Engineering Design Team (EDT), which provides engineering services to Military Sealift Command (MSC), the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, and commercial maritime operators.
The role is focused on delivering practical, executable engineering solutions that support shipboard operations, shipyard installations, modernization efforts, troubleshooting, testing, and vessel delivery. The Field Engineer is expected to operate with minimal supervision, take ownership of assigned engineering issues, and actively manage technical, schedule, and execution risk as construction progresses.
- Reduce rework
- Prevent small technical issues from becoming schedule problems
- Maintain alignment between engineering, production, and the waterfront
- Provide continuity of engineering judgment through late-stage construction and delivery
This position is expected to run through July 2026, aligned with construction, testing, and delivery milestones for the two 400-Class MPSVs. There is a strong likelihood of extension through vessel completion, trials, and post-delivery support depending on program needs.
