Operations Management

“You'll manage CE operations — coordinating work orders, scheduling maintenance, allocating resources, and tracking readiness for civil engineering squadrons. The operations management and scheduling skills are directly applicable to civilian facilities management, project coordination, and operations management careers.”

CE operations management is the scheduling and coordination function that makes sure the right people get to the right jobs with the right materials at something approximating the right time. The operations management skills transfer to civilian facilities management, real estate operations, and project coordination careers. You'll become deeply familiar with work order systems, resource allocation, and the specific frustration of managing facility maintenance on budgets that consistently underestimate what facilities actually need.
