About the position

The Integrated Test Coordinator at Vigor will play a crucial role in overseeing the Integrated Test Plan (ITP) associated with the company's Ship Repair work for the US Navy. This position is responsible for ensuring that the ITP is functionally linked to the Integrated Production Schedule in accordance with NAVSEA standards, which includes all testing for maintenance activities. The coordinator will ensure that the ITP is responsive to changes in the production schedule, meaning that when production item completion dates change, their associated test dates will also be adjusted accordingly. This oversight is vital for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the ship repair process, ensuring that all testing requirements are met and accurately reflected in schedules and reports. In this role, the Integrated Test Coordinator will develop, coordinate, and manage the ITP as described in NAVSEA Standard Item 009-67. They will serve as the primary point of contact for the project team regarding all issues related to test integration. The coordinator will review work items for testing requirements, ensuring that all necessary testing is captured in both the Integrated Test Plan and the Master Integrated Production Schedule. They will also be responsible for reviewing the Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) for accuracy and completeness before submission to the government, resolving any non-conformances prior to acceptance. The position requires the coordinator to ensure that the ITP is updated at least weekly, or more frequently as needed, to support Key Event Certification. They will act as the primary representative on the Total Ship Testing Task Group, chairing weekly meetings and ensuring that all authorized work in the Navy Maintenance Database (NMD) is properly certified in accordance with project milestones and key events. This role requires a high level of independent decision-making and sound judgment, as the coordinator will operate within general parameters while managing complex testing schedules and requirements.
