TPM 4 manages project related activities in alignment with Triad prime contract and customer National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) requirements.  Activities are organized into control accounts and subsequent work packages, which define tasks necessary to satisfy programmatic needs. TPM 4 reports to the Project Program Director and is responsible for day-to-day administrative and operational management within an assigned program area. This includes development, implementation, and evaluation of policies, procedures, and standards; determining program service levels and enhancements; assisting in the development and monitoring of program budgets; and providing technical guidance to project teams, support departments, and matrixed resources. All scope managed by the TPM 4 is being performed within DOE Hazard Category 2, Security Classification 1 facility.
