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

Inspection and repair of marine valves, valve manifolds, and strainers directly overlap with civilian valve repair work.

How to prepare: Prepare a repair-work portfolio identifying the valve components you serviced, the procedures used, and the repair standards applied.

What the civilian work involves
  • Record maintenance information, including test results, material usage, and repairs made.
  • Disassemble and repair mechanical control devices or valves, such as regulators, thermostats, or hydrants, using power tools, hand tools, and cutting torches.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel

Industrial Machinery Mechanics

Component repair experience, knowledge of maintenance standards, and proper use of industrial machinery provide a foundation for broader industrial equipment maintenance.

How to prepare: Seek supervised shop training in disassembly and reassembly of production machinery beyond the marine valve components you have maintained.

What the civilian work involves
  • Repair or replace broken or malfunctioning components of machinery or equipment.
  • Disassemble machinery or equipment to remove parts and make repairs.
  • Reassemble equipment after completion of inspections, testing, or repairs.
