Veteran Character is Shaping the Industry

Honor. Courage. Leadership. Integrity. The values that define a military career are now benefitting the oil and gas industry by the thousands, as our nation’s veterans transition into a second career. With challenging, technical work, many are finding positions where they can supervise themselves, utilize the same level of pride and responsibility in their work and maintain a safety-conscious attitude.

Companies such as Devon Energy, Baker Hughes and Chesapeake Energy offer military recruiting programs specifically for veterans. As many of the companies’ core values such as integrity, doing the right thing and being a team player mirror that of the military – recruiters find veterans a natural fit.

“We are committed to hiring military personnel because their dedication in service to our country fits well with our corporate culture at Devon.” – Dave Hager, Devon Energy CEO
