Our Departments

Business & People Operations (BPO) Department
BPO consists of two business units, Financial Operations and People Operations.

Financial Operations administers and controls all of the financial aspects of BPMI. These aspects include Prime Contract management of our awarded and future contracts, source of funds and operating budget and source of funds management, corporate reporting with our Bechtel parent, commercial procurement, along with traditional functions such as finance, accounting, accounts payable, and payroll. 

People Operations is the centralized hub of the BPMI employee experience, offering human resource expertise and business partnerships. People Operations manages core areas such as talent acquisition, onboarding, leadership development, employee training, compensation, employee and labor relations, total rewards, and employee benefits that enable BPMI to attract, develop, and retain a diverse and skilled workforce.

Fleet Support (FS) Department
Deploys a highly specialized and diverse staff to ensure fleet needs are met and ships stay on mission. Our supply chain experts conduct logistical and inventory management functions for the operating fleet, shipyards, and Navy stock points. They are responsible for cradle-to-grave asset management including maintaining configuration and repair part requirements to support ship construction, retrofit, and operational schedules. Our technical publications professionals publish, distribute, and maintain the technical manuals used by Sailors to operate our components. From design through operation, our engineering experts provide inspection and analytical services to maximize component performance. These services ensure submarine and aircraft carrier power plants always operate safely and reliably.

Industrial Base Management (IBM) Department
Optimizes the full capability of our supply chain. IBM faces outward into the industrial base and shipyards, strengthens partnerships with existing suppliers, invests in improving supplier performance, identifies and integrates new partners, and accelerates the adoption of advanced manufacturing technology in the Program.

Operational Effectiveness (OE) Department
Responsible for providing strategic and operational direction and assessment of BPMI’s operations. This includes Prime Contract compliance, monitoring and assessing internal quality, and security and facility operations. OE is also responsible for IT systems, which includes technology development and maintenance to advance the Navy’s logistics systems, business systems to support BPMI’s mission, and data analytics to support technical and operational decisions.

Instrumentation & Control (IC) Department
Provides the electrical, electronic, and microprocessor-based equipment needed to operate, monitor, and control reactor plants. IC leads the design, manufacturing, and delivery of IC equipment, including the evaluation and application of emerging technologies, preparation of equipment specifications, technical support through the equipment's life cycle, and teaming with laboratories, shipyards, and suppliers.

Flow Control Equipment (FCE) Department
Delivers engineering and procurement services to develop, design, procure, and support various types and models of primary and secondary system valves, centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, and auxiliary equipment to ensure safe and reliable operation of naval nuclear propulsion plants.

Propulsion Plant Equipment (PPE)
Leads the design, manufacturing, and delivery of Shipboard IT (SBIT) and turbine generator (TG) equipment. SBIT supports the hardware and software that make up the local area network used in the administration, operation, and maintenance of shipboard propulsion plant systems—which also includes managing and maintaining the Navy Networks Test Laboratory. To support TG equipment, PPE is responsible for evaluating and applying emerging technologies, preparing equipment specifications, and providing technical support throughout equipment life cycles, while also partnering with laboratories, shipyards, and suppliers.

Reactor Plant Heavy Equipment (RPHE) Department
Provides project lead for the design, manufacturing, testing, and delivery of equipment including steam generators, pressurizers, control drive mechanisms, reactor vessels, closure heads, and core baskets. RPHE also has procurement responsibility for reactor core and fuel work and provides field service to the shipyards to ensure satisfactory equipment maintenance and operation.

Reactor Servicing & Simulator Equipment (RSSE) Department
Provides the means to refuel and defuel the Naval Nuclear Fleet by providing specially designed equipment, engineering, design assurance, procurement, and field support for reactor servicing work. RSSE also provides equipment to transport, process and store nuclear fuel including containers and railcars for shipment of new and used fuel. In addition, RSSE provides physical interactive engine room simulation equipment for Naval operator training and qualification.
