Heating Systems Career Ladder AFSC 545X2 Civilian Occupational Series 4204, 4742, 4749, 5402, 5406, and 5309.

Abstract

The Heating Systems career ladder (AFSC 545X2), and related civilian occupational series were surveyed. The total survey sample contained 2,057 members, which included 1,080 military and 977 civilian personnel. The sample was representative across all major using commands, both for military and civilian personnel. The study identified 8 clusters, covering 10 job types, and 3 independent job types. Each cluster contained both military and civilian personnel, with the exception of the purely military Contingency or Tactical Team cluster and the Technical Training Instructor group. Most groups seemed to form as a function of what type of heating system they installed or maintained and the amount of time they spent on the tasks related to the various systems. The 3- and 5-skill level jobs were oriented toward general maintenance functions, with little responsibility for supervision and management. Seven-skill level members, although still performing some maintenance tasks, spent the majority of their duty time in supervisory, managerial, or administrative functions.
