Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators

Military operation of concrete and asphalt paving equipment directly overlaps with civilian paving-machine work.

How to prepare: Request a hands-on equipment assessment from a paving contractor to identify which controls and material-flow procedures need practice.

What the civilian work involves
  • Start machine, engage clutch, and push and move levers to guide machine along forms or guidelines and to control the operation of machine attachments.
  • Control paving machines to push dump trucks and to maintain a constant flow of asphalt or other material into hoppers or screeds.
  • Observe distribution of paving material to adjust machine settings or material flow, and indicate low spots for workers to add material.
