As a Senior Project Engineer for the FBM Weapons System Infrastructure & Capabilities (WSIC) team, you will lead the activation of a broad range of MilCon and Strategic Projects to support missile development and sustainment. You will serve as a key facilitator for the government, managing the execution process to ensure sustained program success.

• Lead the execution of MilCon and Strategic Projects across multiple program sites, ensuring alignment with project schedules and goals. Provide imaginative and thorough solutions to overcome technical challenges while ensuring alignment with organization objectives.
• Facilitate effective communication across inter-organizational teams (such as planning, systems, and design), government entities, end users, and outside customers (such as subcontractors and team partners) to ensure alignment and timely completion of project objectives.
• Drive project execution following established procedures, schedules, and work plans, while adapting to project needs to overcome barriers such as resource constraints, technical challenges, or shifting stakeholder requirements.
• Coordinate the oversight, integration, and successful completion of activation projects, managing key phases and deliverables while ensuring alignment with program objectives to prevent delays or additional resource expenditure.
• Ensure project requirements are effectively integrated into the design by collaborating with stakeholders, ensuring alignment with missile system requirements, and assessing the overall impact on project cost, schedule, and performance objectives.
• Brief senior leaders, stakeholders, and other key partners on project status and progress, ensuring clear communication of milestones and challenges, and representing the organization in providing solutions to difficult technical issues associated with specific projects.
