Military & Veteran Opportunities

Matt Butler
Area Manager
U.S. Army

"I am a former Prime Power Production Specialist with the U.S. Army. ERS is a great company to work for and I really value military experience. The skills, technical knowledge and leadership that you gain in the military greatly translate to our industry and is something we look for in our candidates. If you are transitioning from the military or looking for a career change, I highly recommend looking at opportunities with ERS."

Sales Engineer

"My military experience has helped me at my career at ERS because the military teaches you how to manage and work with people from different backgrounds. Although we have different roles and expertise, we are expected to come together and accomplish the mission. As a leader in the military, there are many transferrable skills that translate to the civilian world. I believe that one of the most invaluable skills is people management. In the service, we don’t typically get to select the people we work with. We work with who and what we are given. Similarly at ERS, as a Sales Engineer, I must problem solve with the resources I have available. I solve technical problems with our clients, but I also must solve problems with my team and find a way to get the job done. At ERS, our clients expect excellent service and timely communication. As an Officer in the military, I must be able to communicate clearly to my leadership and subordinates. In my role at ERS, I must do the same for my operations team and my clients."

"The Naval Nuclear Power Program laid the foundation for electrical theory, safe operating principles and power plant operations. I gained an abundance of experience on the tenants of an electrical distribution system during my time in the Navy. This experience conveyed directly into a NETA testing career, as I was able to ply my military expertise to test those same components with simulations and test equipment. ERS has built a reputation as the premier NETA testing and service organization. I have proudly worked shoulder to shoulder with fellow Navy Nuclear veterans when the power was out and there was nobody else to call to restore it. We show up, we stay and we don’t leave until the lights are on. The safe working practices, creative solutions and sharing of knowledge in a cohesive team environment summarizes the culture here at ERS."

Dennis Salzmann
Operations Director
U.S. Navy

"I spent ten years in the Navy as a Navy Nuclear Electrician on submarines and I've been with ERS now for twenty-four years. My time and technical training in the Navy transferred well into ERS as I started out as a Field Engineer. Then, I took the leadership skills I learned [in the military] to grow my career and become a service center manager and ultimately a director of operations. My time at ERS has been wonderful. I've gotten to meet a lot of great people and work in many different places. So, if you are looking for a [professional] home, ERS is a great place!"
