Piping Replacement Team Supervisor Cameron Boynton’s favorite part of working at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is the opportunity to collaborate with other employees to achieve a common goal. “Everyone is part of the same mission here,” said Boynton. “What I like most about working at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, is the opportunity to be a part of something important, like modernizing attack submarines for the Navy to keep our Nation safe. You don’t have to serve in the military to serve your country. It’s a good career and I’m proud of that.”
Boynton grew up learning finished carpentry from his father who was a cabinet maker. By the time he was in his early twenties Cameron had worked on anything from ground up residential buildings to large scale commercial facility construction. “I got to bring that experience of building something from start to finish to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard,” said Boynton.
After a few years of working in the private sector in Maine and New Hampshire, Boynton got into the Worker’s Skills Progression Program at PNSY. Over the last eight years, he has worked as a pipefitter, grinding instructor and now pipe and replacement team supervisor.
“What I like most about my job is those days when you come in and everything you and your team have been working on for weeks, taking the preliminary steps to plan and follow through on, all falls into place,” said Boynton. “It’s the satisfaction of seeing a plan come together after a lot of hard work.”
Boynton feels lucky to be working at PNSY and is proud to be a part of a vigilant workforce that focuses on the mission of lethality, readiness and strategic deterrence.
