Japanese translation:三等 掃海機雷員
Explanation:
日本の自衛隊ではこういった名称ですね。「三等」というのは当てずっぽうですが。普通、役職に「等」というのはつかず、「掃海機雷員」をしている「三等海曹」とかになると思われます。

掃海員という名称も使われています。掃海機雷員というのは古い名称のようで、掃海員という名称がGoogle検索でヒット数が多いです。

disagree  yonedatransterp: close, but 機雷水中処分員 would be Navy NEC 5339 Ordnance Clearance Diver, not the more general mineman (MN). A mineman also deploys and detects mines - not just neutralize them. Close, but I think the difference here is notable.
