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.

Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers

Supervising bulk fuel receipt, storage, transfer, and dispensing directly overlaps with managing storage and distribution operations.

How to prepare: Build a civilian work sample for a fuel storage operation that shows receipt and dispatch workflows, staff responsibilities, and safety and security measures.

What the civilian work involves
  • Supervise the activities of workers engaged in receiving, storing, testing, and shipping products or materials.
  • Plan, develop, or implement warehouse safety and security programs and activities.
  • Plan, organize, or manage the work of subordinate staff to ensure that the work is accomplished in a manner consistent with organizational requirements.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Project

Petroleum Pump System Operators, Refinery Operators, and Gaugers

Oversight of bulk fuel transfer and fuel system emplacement provides relevant system knowledge for petroleum pumping operations.

How to prepare: Seek practical training in pump and valve operation, tank transfers, and instrument monitoring, focusing on petroleum transfer roles rather than refinery process control.

What the civilian work involves
  • Signal other workers by telephone or radio to operate pumps, open and close valves, and check temperatures.
  • Monitor process indicators, instruments, gauges, and meters to detect and report any possible problems.
  • Start pumps and open valves or use automated equipment to regulate the flow of oil in pipelines and into and out of tanks.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Inventory tracking software
  • Supervisory control and data acquisition SCADA software
