I’m Jesse Carey–a hands-on technician and operations analyst with a proven track record of driving efficiency across complex projects in both military and civilian sectors. My journey began in the U.S. Navy, where I served aboard the USS Hopper, managing critical shipboard propulsion and auxiliary systems and leading personnel through high-tempo operations. It was there that I learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and mission readiness principles that continue to define my approach today.
Since transitioning into the civilian workforce, I’ve supported major U.S. Navy underwater mine programs, including Quick Strike and Hammerhead. I specialize in assembling, testing, and maintaining ordnance systems, while also managing sensitive government inventory to exacting standards and maintaining quality control. As a certified Warehouse and Hazmat Custodian, I consistently ensure compliance, accuracy, and seamless operations.”
But beyond technical expertise and mission-critical operations, I’m a husband and a father. My wife and I are raising two amazing kids, a curious 6-year-old boy and a joyful 1-year-old girl. Some of my best weekends are spent fishing with them, making memories on the water, or building things together at home—whether it’s IKEA furniture or one of my own woodworking projects. In the house, I developed a different kind of leadership skill that I transferred to my professional career when interacting with others and responding to junior personnel.
I’m also a firm believer in lifelong learning. Between work and family, I stay committed to personal development by completing online courses, certifications, and staying current with industry standards. Whether I’m improving my project management skills or diving deeper into safety protocols, I believe growth never stops. At the time of writing, I am working on obtaining my CompTIA Security+ certification.
At the heart of everything I do is a deep sense of purpose and a commitment to service. I’m here to build, support, and contribute to missions that matter while setting an example for others.

As for Jesse, he did a great job no doubt about it. To list a few highlights: He was very task-oriented, helping to maintain direction of the goals for the day, staying on top of tools for the next step, and oversight of the assembly which he became well acquainted with to the point of being able to recognize and check the procedures when unconventional assemblies occurred.

Assessing Official Comments: QUALITY: Contractor has provided very good quality in support of projects on this contract. In support of QS-ER, the contract required mine/ordnance handling personnel to travel and provide on-site All-Up-Round (AUR) assembly support for all QS-ER flight and laboratory tests. During the QS-ER Captive Carriage Environmental Quantification (CCEQ) Flight Test, ordnance handling personnel and manpower were abnormally low from 307th Maintenance Group (at Barksdale Air Force Base) due to unforeseen simultaneous efforts (i.e., other programs) needing B-52H maintenance support the days prior to test. The lack of manpower from the 307th put the CCEQ Flight Test at risk of delay due to the lack of certified/qualified ordnance handling personnel capable of assembling QS-ER AURs. The Contractor was able to supplement Barksdales manpower deficiency to provide ordnance handling support and supervision. In addition, the Contractor aided the 307th weapons loaders requests during weapons tie-down and transportation steps. The Contractors proactive efforts eliminated the risk of delaying the flight test. If the test were to have been delayed, QS-ER wouldve had to absorb funding losses due to flight cancellation, as well forego valuable data collection of an entire flight sortie needed to certify QS-ER on B-52H. Regarding In-Service-Mine support, high quality work was delivered on multiple technical assist visit to fleet units.

As for Jesse, he did a great job no doubt about it. To list a few highlights: He was very task-oriented, helping to maintain direction of the goals for the day, staying on top of tools for the next step, and oversight of the assembly which he became well acquainted with to the point of being able to recognize and check the procedures when unconventional assemblies occurred. He became well acquainted with a number of procedures to the point of being trusted to oversee other personnel being trained and doing sub-assemblies with little to no supervision. His organizational skills were unmatched on our team. While an adjustment for some of us with a bit more of a hodge-podge tool organization we had grown to and occasionally spent time looking for tools, his systematic organization really came in handy with each item now having a lot more specific of a location aiding in the ease of locating tools effectively. While this had been an idea in our minds at times Jesse put it in to action in an effective manner. He was timely with our morning debriefs and other related meetings as well. Last but not least, he got along well with the team and I can say I think we all enjoyed having him out there.
