Background

About Dillon Lahey

As a U.S. Navy Nuclear Surface Officer with over five years of experience managing complex engineering systems and cross-functional teams, I bring an objective driven approach to project management. With a Top Secret/SCI clearance and deep technical training in nuclear power, thermodynamics, electrical systems, and mechanical operations, I thrive in environments where precision, safety, and efficiency are critical. Throughout my Navy career, I’ve overseen maintenance and readiness for nuclear propulsion systems, electrical distribution networks, and high-pressure mechanical equipment. This is experience that directly translates to managing energy infrastructure and capital projects. I’ve led diverse teams through time-sensitive repairs, streamlined workflows for preventive maintenance, and implemented readiness plans to meet strict regulatory standards. In addition to my technical experience, I’ve managed large-scale personnel and payroll operations using systems like Salesforce and NSIPS, gaining hands-on experience in data integrity, compliance, and process improvement. My degree in Quantitative Economics from the U.S. Naval Academy complements my engineering background with a strong foundation in data analysis and strategic planning. Now, I’m focused on transitioning into the energy sector, particularly in roles that involve project planning, operations management, and systems integration. I’m driven to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable energy future, leveraging my leadership and technical skills to deliver results in high-impact environments. Let’s connect, especially if you're looking for someone who can turn complex systems into operational success.
