Background

About Eric Hager

With over two decades of experience leading nuclear engineering operations in the U.S. Navy, I bring a proven record of excellence in technical management, reactor operations, and large-scale maintenance execution across multiple Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and submarines. As a Lieutenant Commander and seasoned nuclear engineer, I’ve directed complex, high-stakes projects that ensure the safety, readiness, and performance of some of the most sophisticated systems in the world. My leadership style is built on precision, accountability, and mentorship—cultivating teams of engineers and technicians to operate at peak efficiency under demanding conditions. I’ve managed multi-million-dollar maintenance programs, coordinated modernization efforts across the Pacific Fleet, and delivered 100% operational readiness through disciplined execution and innovative problem-solving. Whether guiding cross-functional teams through intricate reactor testing or driving organizational improvements through Lean Six Sigma principles, I focus on results that are measurable, sustainable, and aligned with mission success. As I transition from active duty, I’m eager to leverage my technical expertise and leadership experience in roles that advance energy systems, defense programs, or high-reliability engineering operations.
