Multi-yard shipbuilder serving military and commercial marine markets
Bollinger operates 13 shipyards across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida with 5,001–10,000 employees, balancing government and commercial vessel construction, repair, and steel fabrication. The hiring mix—balanced between engineering and manufacturing roles, with emerging data and analytics hires—signals a shift toward predictive maintenance and supply-chain optimization; active projects span vessel-simulation analytics, welding-technology implementation, and data-architecture roadmaps. Core operational challenges cluster around ISO 9001 compliance, production scheduling, and material-availability volatility.
