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.

Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Troubleshooting, repairing, and testing atmospheric control, monitoring, and metering equipment transfers directly to industrial electronic equipment diagnosis and repair.

How to prepare: Prepare a work sample showing fault isolation, repair, and post-repair testing for a control or monitoring system, including the repair standards used.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test faulty equipment to diagnose malfunctions, using test equipment or software, and applying knowledge of the functional operation of electronic units and systems.
  • Set up and test industrial equipment to ensure that it functions properly.
  • Inspect components of industrial equipment for accurate assembly and installation or for defects, such as loose connections or frayed wires.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software
  • Computerized maintenance management system CMMS

Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers

Intermediate-level troubleshooting, repair, and testing of shipboard communications systems provides a foundation for telecommunications equipment fault isolation and functional testing.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on telecommunications equipment lab that uses circuit diagrams and test meters to isolate faults and verify repaired equipment against specifications.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test circuits and components of malfunctioning telecommunications equipment to isolate sources of malfunctions, using test meters, circuit diagrams, polarity probes, and other hand tools.
  • Test repaired, newly installed, or updated equipment to ensure that it functions properly and conforms to specifications, using test equipment and observation.
