Job Description:
Position Overview The Project Manager (PM) serves as the senior leader responsible for the overall planning, execution, and performance management of Mobile Administrative Support Services supporting the U.S. Coast Guard Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) Project Resident Office. This role provides strategic leadership and operational oversight across all functional task areas, ensuring that contractor personnel deliver high-quality, timely, and compliant support aligned with mission objectives, acquisition timelines, and shipbuilding milestones. Operating within a highly dynamic and complex shipbuilding and acquisition environment, the PM is responsible for integrating multidisciplinary support functions including SharePoint and data management, administrative and documentation support, Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and Earned Value Management (EVMS) analysis, Technical Support Management (TSM) deficiency tracking, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and configuration management, and business/acquisition support. The PM ensures these functions operate cohesively to support program execution, risk mitigation, and informed decision-making by Government leadership. The PM serves as the primary interface with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and other Government stakeholders, ensuring clear communication, alignment with priorities, and responsiveness to evolving program needs. This role requires the ability to manage a highly skilled workforce operating with a degree of independence, while maintaining accountability for performance, deliverables, and continuity of operations. In addition to execution oversight, the PM is responsible for workforce planning, recruiting coordination, retention strategies, and rapid backfill of personnel in a geographically constrained labor market. The PM proactively identifies risks related to staffing, schedule, and performance, and implements mitigation strategies to ensure uninterrupted support during critical program phases such as ship construction milestones, dockside testing, and sea trials. This position requires a strong leader with experience in Federal acquisition environments, the ability to manage cross-functional teams, and a deep understanding of program office operations. The PM must be capable of balancing strategic oversight with hands-on management to ensure successful delivery of services that directly support the OPC program and broader Coast Guard mission.
