**A Snapshot of Your Day**
The Production Controller will be based onshore in our customer's Operations and Maintenance facility in Norfolk, Virginia working to support the Offshore Operations of the Coastal Virginia Commercial Project (176 x SG14-222 Direct Drive turbines).
Production Controllers work a shift pattern (e.g., 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off) providing 24/7/365 coverage to meet the demanding scheduled and often unscheduled site requirements. The role reports into the Deputy Operations Manager on the site.
