Philip Villaverde
Project Management Analyst
Six years at NNS

“Every day is a good day to work at Newport News Shipbuilding. We are afforded a unique opportunity to do extraordinary work. My team helps drive safety, quality, cost and schedule for propulsion plant projects for both Nimitz- and Ford-class carriers to keep the fleet mission ready. My father served in the Navy for 18 years and also worked at Norfolk Naval Shipyard for over a decade. I grew up around shipbuilding and Navy culture, and now I get to contribute to the mission of building good ships.”

The series features shipbuilders’ photos and their brief statements. If you or another shipbuilder you know is interested in being highlighted, email [email protected]. ​
