Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy Enlisted Classification: a skill designation sailors hold in addition to their rating.

Overview

A Submarine Nuclear Propulsion Plant Supervisor specializing in electrical systems supervises electrical operations and power system control. The supervisor oversees maintenance, leads operators, and manages nuclear and electrical safety.

Core Skills

Electrical and shutdown reactor watchstanding
Plant operation and maintenance supervision

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.

Nuclear Technicians

Submarine nuclear propulsion plant operation and maintenance supervision transfers to monitoring nuclear equipment performance and identifying maintenance needs.

How to prepare: Compare your documented watchstation experience with a target facility's equipment surveillance and testing duties to identify plant-specific training gaps.

What the civilian work involves

Follow nuclear equipment operational policies and procedures that ensure environmental safety.
Monitor nuclear reactor equipment performance to identify operational inefficiencies, hazards, or needs for maintenance or repair.
Test plant equipment to ensure it is operating properly.

First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers

Qualification to supervise submarine nuclear propulsion plant maintenance provides directly relevant experience for technical maintenance supervision.

How to prepare: Build a civilian resume section identifying the equipment and maintenance activities you actually supervised, then use it to target industrial electrical maintenance openings.

What the civilian work involves

Inspect, test, and measure completed work, using devices such as hand tools or gauges to verify conformance to standards or repair requirements.
Inspect and monitor work areas, examine tools and equipment, and provide employee safety training to prevent, detect, and correct unsafe conditions or violations of procedures and safety rules.
Monitor employees' work levels and review work performance.
