Bring your expertise and collaborative skills to make an impact toward our plans to build the Navy's future warships.

Serco supports the US Navy as a prime contractor, providing engineering support services to a major Navy shipbuilding acquisition program, the USS Constellation Class Guided-Missile Frigate (FFG 62 Class).

• Review and learn FFG build specification requirements, FMM work procedures and practices as well as ongoing Navy initiatives to provide adequate fire protection of ships under construction at FMM and Bay Shipbuilding.

• Observe and report any work practices, environmental factors, housekeeping deficiencies, or any general conditions that would result in a higher likelihood of a fire starting and spreading inside modules under construction, warehouse, or other storage areas or on the ship within compartments. For example, excessive combustible materials stored in one area or in proximity to module or shipboard hot work should be identified and reported. Fire extinguishers not in hand or within close proximity to fire watches monitoring hot work should also be reported.
