NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that Tim Taylor has been appointed vice president of engineering, technology and design at its Newport News Shipbuilding division.<\/p>\n

Taylor, a U.S. Navy veteran, has served NNS for 29 years in positions of increasing responsibility, including work control, submarine ship\u2019s safety and sea trial coordination. He currently serves as director of nuclear test engineering. Taylor holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in nuclear engineering from Excelsior College and an MBA from Strayer University.<\/p>\n

\u201cTim\u2019s extensive experience in waterfront operations will serve our team well, especially as we become more deliberate in the coming year about capturing efficiencies in our business by incorporating AI into the important work that we do,\u201d NNS President Kari Wilkinson<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

Taylor will assume the role January 1, upon the retirements of\u00a0Dave Bolcar<\/a>, NNS vice president of engineering and design, and Brian Fields<\/a>, NNS vice president and chief technology officer (CTO). In Taylor\u2019s new position, the chief technology officer role will become embedded within engineering and design, in order to best focus on waterfront support and technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contributions Dave and Brian have made to nuclear shipbuilding are well respected,\u201d Wilkinson said. \u201cI am incredibly grateful for having had the opportunity to learn from them \u2014 from the history of our incredible shipyard to the newest technologies in our industry \u2014 and I am most certainly better for knowing both of these dedicated shipbuilders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bolcar began his career at NNS in 1988 as an engineer in the Los Angeles<\/em>-class submarine design division. He went on to lead engineering efforts across nuclear-powered submarine and aircraft carrier programs.<\/p>\n
