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

Intermediate-level repair of propulsion and auxiliary machinery, supported by knowledge of maintenance standards and quality assurance specifications, transfers directly to industrial machinery maintenance.

How to prepare: Build a repair portfolio identifying the machinery you maintained, the repair procedures you performed, and the standards you followed, then use it to target industrial maintenance openings with comparable equipment.

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.
