The Army describes 91L Construction Equipment Repairer as the Soldier who keeps engineer equipment safe and operational by repairing and maintaining trucks, bulldozers, power shovels, and other heavy construction equipment, including brakes, engines, drive pumps, transmissions, and high-pressure hydraulic systems. Civilian employers call this heavy equipment and fleet maintenance work, which is why mobile heavy equipment mechanics lead this page's matches.

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Army, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
