James Canafax, senior vice president and general counsel for BWX Technologies, will leave the company around Aug. 1, according to a recent regulatory filing.
The Harvard-schooled lawyer, who got his J.D. in 1996, has been with the company since 2001: nine years before it was spun off from McDermott International, according to his LinkedIn profile. He will leave BWX Technologies “on or about August 1, 2018,” according to an 8-K the company filed March 12 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Canafax’s would be the second high-profile departure at BWX Technologies this summer. Joseph Henry, president of the company’s flagship Nuclear Operations Group, is set to leave the Lynchburg, Va.-based company June 30.
A BWX Technologies spokesperson did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
