Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Pipefitter Shop (Shop 56) Marine Pipefitter Timothy Mackey has been at the shipyard for only six months, but he has over 29 years of experience as a pipefitter. “My days as a pipefitter technically began when I joined the Navy and became a hull technician, who maintains and repairs a ship’s structure, plumbing and marine sanitation systems. After my stint in the Navy, I spent 29 years as a marine pipefitter in the civilian sector outside the shipyard’s gates. After I retired, I decided it wasn’t time for me to retire just yet. I figure I have at least another 10 years or more of work left in me. When the opportunity came to me to work for NNSY, I couldn’t say no. And here I am, still loving the job.”
