SKILLS
ABOUT JASON WARTELL
With over 10 years of proven leadership, I build and guide highly effective, professional, diverse, and technical teams to deliver results in demanding, high-stakes environments. My career spans commanding nuclear-powered submarines, directing complex missile flight tests, and now driving systems innovation in industrial vacuum technology at Busch Vacuum Solutions.In the Navy, I led detailed technical inspections of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, compressed air, HVAC, communication, and control systems across 80+ submarines—including contract delivery inspections for 7 newly constructed Virginia-class submarines. As Mission Director for 13 Trident II/D5 missile test flights (Atlantic and Pacific ranges), I oversaw- Mission Control Center operations during countdown, launch, and flight to ensure safety and performance while deconflicting with low Earth orbit assets- Production, QA, testing, and submarine installation of flight test kits (300+ telemetry/safety items) and instrumentation sets- Support ship operations (USNS Waters for launch telemetry/position tracking; NMIS for re-entry acoustic/visual/telemetry data).I also managed facility operations, maintenance, and security for 70+ specialized facilities (R&D, production, engineering testing, administrative, plus a small space vehicle launch pad and 2 Navy wharves), while overseeing the second-busiest port in the Navy\'s Southeast Region. Strong public relations experience engaging media, community, and VIPs for high-visibility events.Today at Busch Vacuum Solutions, I lead systems operations focused on designing, integrating, and delivering standard and customized turnkey industrial vacuum systems (Virginia Beach hub) alongside specialized high- to ultra-high vacuum solutions and proprietary leak detection technologies (trace gas and micro-flow instruments) for industrial and R&D clients in Indianapolis. This role builds on my foundation in mission-critical infrastructure, commissioning, and operational leadership—now applied to scalable, innovative vacuum solutions in manufacturing.Let\'s connect if you\'re passionate about operational transformation, vacuum/industrial tech, or high-reliability leadership. j••••••••@gmail.com
