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

Organizational-level maintenance of shipboard propulsion mechanical systems and support equipment transfers directly to maintaining industrial machinery.

How to prepare: Build an equipment-specific maintenance portfolio describing the systems you serviced and the work you performed, then compare it with equipment listed in industrial mechanic 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.
