Gage Rogers
Summary
I have been in my career at Newport News Shipbuilding for over 5 years specializing in a high profile nuclear pipefitting environment on both carriers and submarines. I have maintained my security clearance and all my nuclear qualifications for pipefitting continuously during that time. I believe my nuclear background, unfaltering work ethic, and strong attention to detail make me the perfect candidate to transition to a Quality Inspector position. Years of working side by side with the Quality Inspection department in Fleet Support as well as having to strictly adhere and work to procedures has given me valuable experience to help me become an asset to the NQC team.
