The Army describes 92W Water Treatment Specialist as the Soldier who supervises and installs water purification equipment and makes sure clean water is stored and available wherever it is needed, while performing water quality tests and inspecting facilities and food supplies for health hazards. Civilian employers call this water treatment and environmental health work, which is why water and wastewater treatment plant operators and water resource specialists 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.
