The Opportunity:

As a project management specialist, you know the complexities of supporting a project from concept to completion. Many programs require a significant investment of limited resources, and it’s imperative to keep the project on a productive path. That’s why we need you, an experienced project management specialist who can help ensure success through careful analysis and effective communication. 

As an integral member of the client’s robotics and autonomous systems team, you will be tasked with being the program’s forward deployed eyes and ears on the ground and monitoring production of Medium Unmanned Surface Vessels (MUSVs). In this role, you will visit facilities on a weekly basis to interact with production leadership, compare actual progress to planned construction progress, coordinate program office visits to the shipyards as required, collect information to prepare weekly reports to keep the program office informed of progress at each shipyard, and act as the on-site liaison from the program office.

The real impact of project management comes from communication to ensure the program achieves its goals and meets our quality standards. At Booz Allen, we recognize that we must continuously grow as a team to bring the best support to our clients, so here you’ll have all the resources to succeed. This is a chance to influence a meaningful mission while learning how to develop and maintain program strategy. 

Work with us and ensure the program accomplishes its MUSV goals within budget as we deliver capable autonomous surface platforms to the U.S. Navy.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
