Overview

A support equipment gas turbine mechanic performs on equipment repairs and intermediate maintenance on gas turbine units. The mechanic troubleshoots and repairs air and electrical controls, fuel, bleed air, oil, and power generation systems, including pumps, generators, motors, relays, regulators, thermostats, valves, fuel controls, and flow dividers.

Core Skills

  • Fuel control and flow divider adjustment
  • Bleed air and pneumatic control troubleshooting
  • Generator, relay, and voltage regulator repair
  • Oil and fuel pump repair

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.

Industrial Machinery Mechanics

Gas turbine maintenance and repair of pumps, motors, and control systems transfer directly to industrial machinery troubleshooting and component repair.

How to prepare: Build a repair portfolio that maps your turbine, pump, and control-system work to the equipment named in industrial maintenance openings.

What the civilian work involves
  • Repair or maintain the operating condition of industrial production or processing machinery or equipment.
  • Repair or replace broken or malfunctioning components of machinery or equipment.
  • Clean, lubricate, or adjust parts, equipment, or machinery.

Electric Motor, Power Tool, and Related Repairers

Repairing generators, motors, relays, and voltage regulators provides a direct foundation for motor and generator repair work.

How to prepare: Complete a supervised motor-repair bench exercise covering electrical measurements, fault diagnosis, and reassembly to specified ratings.

What the civilian work involves
  • Reassemble repaired electric motors to specified requirements and ratings, using hand tools and electrical meters.
  • Measure velocity, horsepower, revolutions per minute (rpm), amperage, circuitry, and voltage of units or parts to diagnose problems, using ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, and other testing devices.
  • Repair and rebuild defective mechanical parts in electric motors, generators, and related equipment, using hand tools and power tools.

Control and Valve Installers and Repairers, Except Mechanical Door

Repairing and adjusting air valves, thermostats, and fuel controls closely matches mechanical control-device and valve repair.

How to prepare: Arrange hands-on practice disassembling and repairing an industrial valve or regulator, then document the repair and test results.

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.
  • Lubricate wearing surfaces of mechanical parts, using oils or other lubricants.
