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.

Mobile Heavy Equipment Mechanics, Except Engines

Shipboard crash crane maintenance provides directly relevant experience repairing heavy equipment lifting systems, drives, suspensions, and electrical and hydraulic controls.

How to prepare: Practice diagnostic and post-repair testing procedures from a civilian equipment manufacturer's service manual for the crane or heavy equipment models you want to maintain.

What the civilian work involves
  • Repair and replace damaged or worn parts.
  • Test mechanical products and equipment after repair or assembly to ensure proper performance and compliance with manufacturers' specifications.
  • Operate and inspect machines or heavy equipment to diagnose defects.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Maintenance management software

Industrial Machinery Mechanics

Repairing crash crane mechanical drives and electric and hydraulic systems transfers to diagnosing and repairing industrial machinery components.

How to prepare: Take hands-on industrial machinery maintenance training focused on production equipment disassembly, component replacement, and reassembly.

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.
  • Disassemble machinery or equipment to remove parts and make repairs.
