Justin Mundy has worked at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) since August 2012 and is the Code 926 General Foreman and Hot Work Manager on the USS John Warner (SSN 785) project.
“His leadership has been a cornerstone of our success, and his achievements reflect a profound impact on the USS John Warner's operational excellence and industry standing,” said Code 926 Mechanic Nicholas Odgers. “I offer my deepest appreciation to Justin Mundy for his remarkable leadership and unwavering dedication, which have profoundly enriched NNSY and set a standard of excellence for all to follow.”
Mundy finds the most rewarding part of his job mentoring his team and watching them grow professionally and get promoted. He values having a positive impact on people’s lives.
“His ability to foster a collaborative and innovative work environment has not only elevated the quality of our project but has also significantly contributed to the professional growth of Shop 26,” said Odgers.
Odgers continued, “Under Mr. Mundy's guidance, NNSY has seen remarkable improvements in project management and execution.”
Like all NNSY leaders, Justin Mundy faces challenges too.
“The most challenging aspect of my job is understanding that everyone is different and learning how to interact with those different types of personalities,” said Mundy. “The physical work is the easy part; the people part is sometimes difficult.”
He believes that having a good support system is key to overcoming obstacles and he has a team that he can reach out to for advice regardless of what leadership challenges he faces. For anyone looking for leadership advice, Mundy believes the following skills are paramount to leading a team successfully.
“A good leader leads from the back,” said Mundy. “They give advice and guide you in the right direction but will allow their people to make their own decisions, and they also recognize their people’s accomplishments before their own.”
The best career advice Justin ever received was from his father: “anything worth doing, is worth doing right.”
“That saying has stuck with me my entire life,” said Mundy. “I have used it as a foundation for almost everything I have done, and it still holds true today.”
For anyone considering working at Norfolk Naval Shipyard or making shipyard work a career, he offers this advice.
“Norfolk Naval Shipyard can be a very rewarding place to work,” said Mundy. “Just remember you will only get out what you put in; always go that extra mile.”
Jason Mundy’s more than 12 years at Norfolk Naval Shipyard have contributed to his growth as both a successful leader and mentor. His successes have also translated into streamlining processes and enhancing productivity for Code 926 and the John Warner project.
