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.

Control and Valve Installers and Repairers, Except Mechanical Door

Submarine valve inspection, troubleshooting, repair, and testing directly overlap with civilian mechanical valve repair.

How to prepare: Practice documenting a commercial valve repair against its manufacturer's service instructions, including test results, materials used, and repairs made.

What the civilian work involves
  • Disassemble and repair mechanical control devices or valves, such as regulators, thermostats, or hydrants, using power tools, hand tools, and cutting torches.
  • Record maintenance information, including test results, material usage, and repairs made.
  • Lubricate wearing surfaces of mechanical parts, using oils or other lubricants.

Maintenance and Repair Workers, General

Valve-system troubleshooting, maintenance, and testing provide a foundation for broader machinery inspection and mechanical repair.

How to prepare: Complete hands-on practice inspecting drives, motors, and belts to extend valve-focused experience to the broader equipment covered in general maintenance.

What the civilian work involves
  • Inspect, operate, or test machinery or equipment to diagnose machine malfunctions.
  • Perform routine maintenance, such as inspecting drives, motors, or belts, checking fluid levels, replacing filters, or doing other preventive maintenance actions.
  • Repair machines, equipment, or structures, using tools such as hammers, hoists, saws, drills, wrenches, or equipment such as precision measuring instruments or electrical or electronic testing devices.
