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.

Environmental Scientists and Specialists, Including Health

Evaluating hazards affecting personnel health and the environment transfers directly to environmental health assessment and scientific guidance.

How to prepare: Prepare a de-identified environmental hazard assessment from a relevant assignment, showing the evidence reviewed, health implications, and recommended controls.

What the civilian work involves
  • Collect, synthesize, analyze, manage, and report environmental data, such as pollution emission measurements, atmospheric monitoring measurements, meteorological or mineralogical information, or soil or water samples.
  • Review and implement environmental technical standards, guidelines, policies, and formal regulations that meet all appropriate requirements.
  • Provide scientific or technical guidance, support, coordination, or oversight to governmental agencies, environmental programs, industry, or the public.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • ESRI ArcGIS software
  • Microsoft Excel

Occupational Health and Safety Specialists

Evaluating hazards to military personnel provides a foundation for assessing workplace health risks and recommending protective measures.

How to prepare: Build a sample workplace hazard assessment that maps your documented health-hazard evaluation experience to applicable civilian safety standards and identifies gaps in inspection practice.

What the civilian work involves
  • Recommend measures to help protect workers from potentially hazardous work methods, processes, or materials.
  • Develop or maintain hygiene programs, such as noise surveys, continuous atmosphere monitoring, ventilation surveys, or asbestos management plans.
  • Inspect or evaluate workplace environments, equipment, or practices to ensure compliance with safety standards and government regulations.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
