Project Manager
G.I. Industrial-Marine LLC is seeking a Project Manager to oversee labor support operations for newly awarded U.S. Navy contracts at Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
This position is ideal for a recently retired or honorably separated U.S. Navy leader with experience supervising repair, maintenance, modernization, or industrial operations involving Navy vessels.
This is a hands‑on waterfront management role — not a desk‑only project management position. The selected candidate will be responsible for daily workforce oversight, customer coordination, scheduling, accountability, and contract execution in an active shipyard environment.
