Mesa, Arizona, United States US Navy Full time
About the Role

The US Navy is seeking highly skilled individuals to join our team as Machinist's Mate Nuclears. As a key member of our nuclear propulsion team, you will be responsible for operating and maintaining steam turbines and reduction gears used for nuclear ship propulsion and auxiliary machinery.

Responsibilities
  • Operate and maintain steam turbines and reduction gears
  • Maintain auxiliary machinery outside of main machinery spaces
  • Perform duties in nuclear propulsion plants operating reactor control, propulsion and power generation systems
Work Environment

As a Machinist's Mate Nuclear, you will have the opportunity to work at sea or ashore. Your assignment could also place you in an intense, fast-paced environment aboard a nuclear-powered submarine or aircraft carrier.

Training & Advancement

Upon completion of initial training, you will attend A School in Charleston, SC, for six months. Here, you will develop a working knowledge of technical mathematics and power distribution. Students learn to solve basic equations using phasors, vector notations and basic trigonometry and analyze DC and AC circuits.

From there, you will move on to Naval Nuclear Power School (NNPS), also in Charleston, SC. Here you will learn theory and practical application of nuclear physics and reactor engineering.

Following NNPS, you will begin prototype training in your rating specialty at one of two Nuclear Power Training Units (NPTUs) - located in Charleston, SC, and Ballston Spa, NY. This six-month course teaches the fundamentals of a Naval nuclear power plant and the interrelationship of its mechanical, electrical, and reactor subsystems.

Post-Service Opportunities

Specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian sector.

Education Opportunities

Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and operational training for a Machinist's Mate Nuclear can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.

You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Qualifications & Requirements

A high-school diploma or equivalent is required to become an Enlisted Sailor and Machinist's Mate Nuclear in the Navy. Those seeking a role as a Machinist's Mate Nuclear must be U.S. citizens with successful completion of one year of Algebra, and who can meet eligibility requirements for a security clearance.
