Electrical Power Production Career Ladder, AFSC 542X2.
Abstract
The Electrical Power Production career ladder was surveyed to obtain current data for use in training management decisions. The inventory was completed by 1,511 military respondents (73 percent of eligible 542x2 personnel) and 161 civilians. All major commands are well represented in the survey sample. Eight clusters and seven independent job types were identified in the 542x2 career ladder. Basic technical divisions in the career ladder include: aircraft arresting barriers, portable generators (standby and mobile primary power), and standby and prime power plants. Divisions also occurred based on time in career field. Several specialized job types were identified, such as Uninteruptable Power Systems (UPS) Technicians and Gas, Natural Gas, Diesel Engine Technicians. Two independent job types were composed primarily of civilian counterparts. These were CEMIRT Power Production Personnel and Electrical Protective Devices Maintenance Personnel. For the POI, the career ladder structure jobs which include first-enlistment personnel might provide additional input for training consideration. Civilian personnel are being utilized in highly technical jobs. The higher level military are performing more administrative and supervisory tasks than their civilian counterparts.
