Relationships with occupations
Essential skill
Maintain nuclear reactors is an essential skill of the following occupations:
Nuclear technician: Nuclear technicians function as aids to physicists and engineers in nuclear laboratories and power plants. They monitor the procedures to ensure safety and quality control, and maintain equipment. They also handle and control radioactive equipment and measure radiation levels to ensure safety.
Optional skill
Maintain nuclear reactors is optional for these occupations. This means knowing this skill may be an asset for career advancement if you are in one of these occupations.
Chemical engineering technician: Chemical engineering technicians transform raw materials in order to develop and test chemical products. They also work on improving chemical plant operations and processes.
Maintenance and repair engineer: Maintenance and repair engineers focus on the optimization of equipment, procedures, machineries and infrastructure. They ensure their maximum availability at minimum costs.
Commissioning engineer: Commissioning engineers supervise the final stages of a project when systems are installed and tested. They inspect the correct functioning of the equipment, facilities and plants to make sure they meet the requirements and specifications. They perform the necessary verifications and give approval to finalise the project.
Civil engineer: Civil engineers design, plan, and develop technical and engineering specifications for infrastructure and construction projects. They apply engineering knowledge in a vast array of projects, from the construction of infrastructure for transportation, housing projects, and luxury buildings, to the construction of natural sites. They design plans that seek to optimise materials and integrate specifications and resource allocation within the time constraints.
Nuclear engineer: Nuclear engineers plan and design engineering equipment and processes in nuclear plants and sites. They engage in engineering activities pertaining to nuclear power plants, and develop risk solutions.
