Position Overview
Invictus Associates LLC is seeking an experienced Surface Ship Maintenance Technical Analyst – SES Support to provide direct technical, analytical, and executive-level support to the Commander, Navy Regional Maintenance Center (CNRMC) Senior Executive Service (SES) Executive Director at the Washington Navy Yard.
This is a high-visibility position supporting senior Navy leadership on issues directly affecting surface ship maintenance, modernization, Fleet readiness, and force generation. The successful candidate will help the Executive Director turn complex maintenance, technical, financial, contracting, workforce, and organizational information into clear assessments and actionable decisions.
We are looking for more than a staff action coordinator. The ideal candidate understands the Navy surface ship maintenance enterprise, can independently assess complex problems, recognizes the “so what,” and can clearly articulate what senior leadership needs to know, why it matters, and what action or decision is required.
What You’ll Do
- Provide direct technical and analytical support to the CNRMC SES Executive Director on surface ship maintenance, modernization, readiness, and Regional Maintenance Center operations.
- Analyze complex maintenance, engineering, contracting, financial, workforce, and organizational issues and develop decision-quality recommendations.
- Prepare executive-level briefings, read-aheads, issue papers, point papers, talking points, decision memoranda, white papers, and correspondence.
- Prepare the Executive Director for senior Navy meetings and engagements by identifying key issues, risks, decisions, and anticipated questions.
- Review and synthesize information from CNRMC headquarters, Regional Maintenance Centers, NAVSEA, Fleet organizations, and other stakeholders.
- Track high-priority actions, Executive Director decisions, commitments, and taskers through completion.
- Analyze maintenance availability performance, including cost, schedule, work-package maturity, material readiness, technical resolution, contract execution, growth and new work, workforce capacity, and on-time completion.
- Identify systemic barriers to maintenance performance and recommend practical actions to improve planning, execution, accountability, and delivery.
- Support CNRMC initiatives involving World Class Planning, pre-availability inspections, earlier contract awards, material readiness, planning maturity, and maintenance process improvement.
- Develop and maintain performance metrics, dashboards, executive trackers, and other decision-support products.
- Conduct trend, root-cause, workload, resource, and performance analysis to identify issues requiring senior leadership attention.
- Support analysis of manpower, workforce competency, engineering capacity, contracting capacity, workload, and organizational alignment.
- Coordinate across multiple organizations to reconcile competing information, identify risks, and develop integrated recommendations.
- Support special studies, working groups, senior leadership initiatives, and rapid-response analytical requirements.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, operations management, logistics, data analytics, or a related technical/management discipline. Significant directly relevant Navy maintenance experience may be considered in lieu of a specific degree requirement.
- Demonstrated experience in Navy ship maintenance, modernization, engineering, acquisition, logistics, contracting, readiness, or a closely related field.
- Working knowledge of the Navy surface ship maintenance enterprise and the organizations responsible for planning, engineering, contracting, resourcing, and executing maintenance.
- Ability to analyze complex technical and programmatic information and convert it into concise recommendations for senior decision-makers.
- Strong executive-level writing, briefing, and communication skills.
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple high-priority assignments and short-fuse requirements.
- Ability to work effectively with senior military and civilian leaders, engineers, program managers, contracting professionals, Fleet representatives, and industry partners.
- Proficiency with Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook, and Teams.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
- 10+ years of Navy surface ship maintenance, modernization, engineering, acquisition, or Fleet readiness experience.
- Previous experience supporting NAVSEA, CNRMC, a Regional Maintenance Center, Naval Shipyard, Type Commander, Fleet headquarters, or similar Navy maintenance organization.
- Direct experience with surface ship maintenance availabilities and associated planning and execution processes.
- Knowledge of work-package development, integrated scheduling, material readiness, technical resolution, contract development and execution, growth/new work, and availability completion.
- Previous experience providing direct support to a Flag Officer, SES, Executive Director, or comparable senior leader.
- Experience performing cost, schedule, workload, workforce, or operational-performance analysis.
- Experience developing executive-level briefing and decision-support products.
- Lean Six Sigma Green Belt/Black Belt, process improvement, statistical analysis, or root-cause analysis experience.
- Experience with Power BI, Tableau, advanced Excel, or similar data visualization and analytical tools.
- Graduate degree in engineering, business, operations research, systems engineering, or a related discipline.
The Candidate We Want
The strongest candidate will combine Navy surface maintenance expertise with executive-level analytical skills.
You should be comfortable receiving a complex or loosely defined problem, determining what information matters, separating symptoms from root causes, and providing the Executive Director with a concise answer to four questions:
What is happening?
Why does it matter?
What is driving it?
What should we do about it?
Why does it matter?
