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.

Airfield Operations Specialists

Landing zone surveys, expeditionary airfield design, and airfield lighting support provide relevant experience for inspecting civilian airfield conditions and supporting safe operations.

How to prepare: Complete civilian airport operations training focused on airfield inspections and federal regulatory requirements.

What the civilian work involves
  • Inspect airfield conditions to ensure compliance with federal regulatory requirements.
  • Implement airfield safety procedures to ensure a safe operating environment for personnel and aircraft operation.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel

Maintenance Workers, Machinery

Operating, inspecting, and maintaining emergency aircraft arresting gear provides directly transferable equipment maintenance experience.

How to prepare: Take hands-on industrial machinery maintenance training to practice disassembly, reassembly, and component replacement on equipment beyond aircraft arresting systems.

What the civilian work involves
  • Dismantle machines and remove parts for repair, using hand tools, chain falls, jacks, cranes, or hoists.
  • Reassemble machines after the completion of repair or maintenance work.
  • Install, replace, or change machine parts and attachments, according to production specifications.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
