Navy Nuclear Energy Jobs ? Exciting and Rewarding

July 9, 2012 By admin

Over the past few years, Navy nuclear energy jobs have become increasingly popular. These positions are coveted by many, due in large part to the excitement of working in this field. Along with this, a position in nuclear energy will go a long way in setting you up for a variety of careers in the future.

From operating nuclear powered submarines to maintaining each and every aspect of these underwater vehicles, nuclear energy jobs are among the most important in the United States Navy.

Are you ready to become part of the Navy Nuclear Propulsion community? If so, there are multiple positions to consider:

– Surface Warfare Officer

– Submarine Officer

– Naval Reactors Engineer

– Naval Nuclear Power School Instructor

– Nuclear Operations

No matter the type of position that you take on, you will assume responsibility that is above and beyond most others in the civilian world. In other words, your position in the nuclear energy field will go a long way in helping the Navy achieve both its short and long term goals.

Training for a Navy Nuclear Energy Position

Once you graduate from college, formal training begins. For example, if you want to become a Submarine Officer you will attend Officer Candidate School for 12 weeks. From there, Officers move on and begin to receive advanced training related to their particular area of employment.

There are many special programs that help each and every member of the Navy Nuclear Propulsion community prepare for the future. These include but are not limited to Naval Nuclear Power School, Nuclear Power Training Unit, and Submarine Officer Basic Course.

The program(s) that you participate is based largely on the area of specialty that you choose.

Sticking with the above example, Submarine Officers will attend Naval Nuclear Power School. This program is located in Charleston, South Carolina and is 24 weeks in duration. From science to technology, attendees focus on a variety of subjects.

Qualifications

Are you interested in the NUPOC program? If so, you should realize one thing: competition is fierce and you are not guaranteed admittance. There are many requirements that must be met.

To be eligible, candidates must be a United States citizen between the ages of 19 and 29, and meet all physical standards as set forth by the Navy.

Along with this, education requirements are quite strict requiring candidates to be a graduate or student of an accredited institution in the United States.

Are you ready for the NUPOC interview? If you apply to this program, you should be ready to complete a long and rigorous screening process. From there, you will interview with the Director of Naval Reactors.

As you can see, becoming part of the Navy Nuclear Propulsion community is unlike any other career in the Navy.

If a Navy nuclear energy job piques your interest, it is important to start the preparation process as soon as possible.
