Amazing Engineering Jobs in the Navy

April 4, 2012 By admin

There is no denying the popularity growth of the engineering field in the civilian sector. The same holds true when it comes to the United States Military, the Navy in particular. There are many engineering jobs to consider, some of which are going to be just what you are looking for. Along with putting your skills to good use for your country, once your time in the Navy comes to an end you will find yourself with enough experience to land a high paying job with a civilian employer.

The Navy relies on its engineering professionals for a variety of tasks, such as planning and managing construction projects at home as well as across the globe. Anybody who gets involved with the Engineering and Applied Science field is going to find themselves taking on big responsibilities.

Some of the areas in which engineering professionals work includes: construction and building, civil engineering, mechanical and industrial technology, electronics, meteorology, oceanography, and surface warfare.

As you can see, when you join the Navy you are more than just an engineer ? you are going to focus your time and energy on one specific area that is most interesting to you.

Work Environment

As an engineer in the Navy, you are never going to get bored with the work environment. From regular projects on bases to those on ports of call all over the globe, you never know where you are going to be working. No matter what, you will find yourself teamed with the best engineers in the world as well as other professionals who know exactly what it takes to get the job done right the first time.

Training

For many, becoming a Navy engineer means attending Officer Candidate School located in Newport, Rhode Island. After you complete this training, you may move onto even more ? such as the Civil Engineer Corps Officer School. While this may seem like a lot of training, it is during this time that you learn what it takes to do your job with a high level of success.

Remember, the training that you receive in the Navy will go a long way in helping you achieve success when it comes time to land a civilian job.

Educational Opportunities

With the help of many educational programs ? such as the Civil Engineer Collegiate Program ? you can receive money for college. For example, this program gives you a regular income of up to $4,700 for up to two years. This includes a generous salary as well as a food and housing allowance. Where else are you going to get such an educational benefit?

Qualifications

If you want to become an engineer in the Navy you must meet all the specified qualifications. This includes obtaining a four year degree from an accredited college. As noted above, the Navy has many programs that can help you pay for college.

Moving on from the Navy

Once you have served all your time in the Navy, you can take your training, skills, and experience into the outside world. At this point, you will have everything you need in order to land your dream job in a field that you enjoy.

With a variety of benefits, it is easy to see why so many people decide to become a Navy engineer.
