Why PSEG Recruits Military Talent
PSEG has powered homes and businesses since 1903. Over that time, the company has built a reputation for valuing military experience. In fact, it was named a 2026 Top Veteran Employer by U.S. Veterans Magazine. It also earned a 2026 Silver Military Friendly Employer designation.
On top of that, PSEG takes part in the Army’s Partnership for Your Success program. This program connects soldiers with employers before they leave the service.
So why the focus on veterans? Utility work demands discipline, safety awareness, and calm under pressure. Those traits come standard with military service. Many technical roles also match skills from the Navy nuclear program, Army engineering units, and Air Force maintenance.
