Job Description
WAFCOR IV manages, coordinates, oversees, and enforces the Work Authorization Form (WAF) process for all industrial entities onboard Navy Vessels during ship repair availabilities. The WAFCOR ensures that all Trades and Subcontractors abide by the rules and regulations established by the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (JFMM). They verify that all Work Authorization Forms are generated correctly and complete upon receipt and submittal. They are the liaison between Ship's Force and Repair Activities for WAF processing and to assist in resolving tag-out conflicts. The WAFCOR verifies and ensure that Trades and Subcontractors are working within the boundaries established by the Work Authorization Form process. WAFCORS coordinate and conduct WAF training with the Ship's Force personnel, Trades, and Subcontractors. They maintain detailed records of opened WAFs and track production work for completion for closing WAFs.
