Shipboard Electrician with Security Clearance

About the Team

This opportunity resides with Global Security (GS) within HII's Mission Technologies division. Our group comprises live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) solutions, fleet sustainment, nuclear and environmental services, and Australia business operations. As a trusted partner to military customers, HII designs, develops, and operates the largest LVC enterprise that prepares warfighters for cross-domain battle. For more than 40 years, the U.S. Navy has entrusted HII to maintain and modernize the vast majority of its fleet. With a holistic approach to life-cycle maritime defense systems—from small watercraft to submarines, surface combatants, and aircraft carriers—HII ensures a high state of readiness. We also support the Department of Energy's national security mission through the management and operation of its sites, as well as the safe cleanup of legacy waste across the country.

About the Role

Join HII as we help keep the world's most powerful Navy mission-ready! Our Platform Modernization team is seeking a Shipboard Electrician to support work in the San Diego, CA area. In this role, you will support the Integrated Training Systems Installation and Sustainment (ITSIS) Program, working aboard active surface ships and at shore-based communication facilities. You will be part of a team that understands preparation requires full coordination, not readiness in piece-parts.

Your day-to-day involves using mechanical tools to install, upgrade, and remove industrial equipment as part of system alterations and installations. You will troubleshoot fiber-optic cables, connectors, and related equipment for fleet modernization, diagnose equipment malfunctions, and ensure proper coordination of engineering field changes. Strong customer communication is key, as you will provide onsite training to customer support personnel as needed. This position requires significant travel to shipyards and military bases both within the U.S. and internationally when not assigned to local tasks. Per diem is available based on travel location, and all travel and lodging expenses are company-covered.
