About the Role

We are seeking an Installation Analyst II to support Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) and associated Navy stakeholders in the planning, coordination, analysis, and execution of C4I/IT system modernization and installation activities. This role is primarily analytical and programmatic, connecting acquisition, engineering, logistics, field activities, installation teams, and Fleet stakeholders to ensure capabilities are planned, documented, scheduled, and fielded in accordance with Navy and DoD requirements.

• Assess installation and modernization issues of moderate complexity; identify root causes, dependencies, constraints, and impacts to cost, schedule, performance, readiness, and fielding objectives.
• Support advanced planning and installation execution for afloat, submarine, shore, and/or enterprise information systems, as assigned.
• Develop and maintain installation plans, integrated schedules, milestone trackers, fielding plans, action-item logs, risk registers, dashboards, status reports, and other assigned management products.
• Track deliverable development, submission, review, approval, and closure; identify late or at-risk milestones and develop proposed recovery or mitigation actions for review.
• Coordinate assigned activities with Government program managers, engineers, logisticians, field activities, Fleet representatives, ship/platform stakeholders, vendors, and other installation participants.
• Review policies, processes, standards, and technical or programmatic requirements; document compliance gaps, implementation concerns, and recommended corrective actions.
• Analyze installation costs, estimates, expenditures, resource requirements, schedule performance, and readiness data; support validation of funding needs and alignment to approved plans.
• Prepare clear written analyses, decision briefs, meeting materials, data-call responses, presentations, and recommendations for Government review; present findings when assigned.
• Support process improvement by documenting workflows, evaluating alternatives, developing analytical approaches, and assisting with implementation of approved recommendations.
• Perform quality reviews of assigned data and work products, promote consistency across management products, and provide task-level guidance to other team members when assigned.
• Enter, update, reconcile, and quality-check installation information in Government-approved systems, databases, and collaboration tools.
• Perform other related program analysis and installation management duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a business or technical field with a minimum of seven (7) years of relevant experience.
• Ability to independently manage assignments of moderate complexity, reconcile incomplete or conflicting information, identify central issues and dependencies, evaluate alternatives, and present defensible recommendations.
• Strong written and oral communication skills, including reports, briefings, meeting facilitation, stakeholder coordination, and communication with Government customers.
• Proficiency with the Microsoft 365 productivity and collaboration environment (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Access) to create, manage, analyze, and maintain information.
• Basic familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform tools (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate) to navigate and use existing reports, dashboards, applications, and automated workflows.
• Strong organization, attention to detail, records discipline, and ability to manage concurrent priorities, deliverables, and deadlines with limited day-to-day direction.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a Government-contractor team environment and provide task-level coordination or quality review when assigned.
• Ability to obtain and maintain the clearance, credentials, and system access required by the contract.

• Experience developing or maintaining integrated schedules, risk registers, cost estimates, Baseline Change Requests, metrics, dashboards, process maps, or controlled program documentation.
• Experience coordinating across multiple technical, programmatic, logistics, field, and Fleet stakeholders.
• Active DoD Secret security clearance is preferred.

Skills

• Independent analytical problem-solving and sound judgment
• Program, schedule, risk, cost, readiness, and performance analysis
• Installation planning, execution support, and stakeholder coordination
• Quantitative analysis, data reconciliation, and spreadsheet modeling
• Microsoft 365 proficiency and basic familiarity with existing Power Platform solutions
