ENERGIZE YOUR CAREER
More than eight million people work in energy careers in the United States. From future-focused innovators and engineers exploring new ways to harness and store power, to skilled tradespeople, who are the backbone of the industry’s operations. Others are developing a national infrastructure for the rise in electric vehicle transportation, exploring renewable natural gas for transport needs, addressing cyber-security challenges, or even supporting the business of energy. The work of these professionals is essential, rewarding, and always in demand. And much of it is done by veterans.
Energy employers value the leadership skills, team orientation, “can do” spirit, and work ethic that is ingrained in those with military experience. There is a natural transition from the military into energy careers, so much so that the energy sector has generally employed a higher percentage of veterans than other industries.

Turn Military Experience into an Energy Industry Career
Matthew M. – Captain, U.S. Marine Corps
Aircraft Maintenance Office
As an aircraft maintenance officer in the Marine Corps, I was privileged to lead teams of technical experts and manage complex projects. Troops to Energy Jobs introduced me to the opportunity to use these skills I’ve developed in the military to work in the ever-growing energy industry. One phone call with John Broschak led me to the user-friendly job board, and sure enough, with his mentorship on what kind of jobs fit both my experience and career goals, I landed a job offer three weeks later! Without TEJ, I would never have known what amazing opportunities are waiting. Fellow vets looking to employ their skills – don’t hesitate, reach out to get into energy!
