Job Description
Truestone, LLC is expecting a growth spurt on one of our contracts. We are looking to hire versatile, motivated Shipboard & Inside Plant Installation Technicians (Level IV) to join our Maritime Installation Team (MIT). Technicians in this pool will support critical multi-program requirements across naval and shore-based defense installations.
Initial assignments include supporting high-tempo Maritime Integration Team (MIT) tasking, inside plant cable installation and preparation for upcoming program rollouts, and technical integration/testing across fleet platforms (such as CTII and CIVMAR). Candidates will cross-train and flex between programs—such as CTII, TARCES, CIVMAR, SCORP, SEAWATCH, ILMS, and STRS3—based on operational tempo and shipyard availability.
