Transitioning Military
Service Then, SURVICE Now
Our Commitment to
Military & Veterans
SURVICE remains committed and continues to foster and maintain a growing military talent community that helps veterans and their families find meaningful careers at our company through a variety of employment opportunities.
From the start, SURVICE has recognized that the secret of our success is not found in revenues, facilities, or equipment. The true secret of our success is our people. Our staff of dedicated, hard-working professionals is skilled in understanding the needs of our customers and in partnering with them to find effective ways to meet those needs.
“When I joined this team, I said to SURVICE, “this is who I am, this is the baggage that I bring.” And they said “good.” That meant the world because a lot of folks aren’t willing to do that. I think in life we all come with something. It’s just whether you’re willing to work with it, process it, utilize it, and help that individual grow as part of that team.”

“I think my military career helped me learn how to motivate people, how to reward people for the good work they are doing and learn how look at issues from a different point of view from a manager’s side, from a worker’s side, and from the government agency’s need to be supported.”
- Heidi Elise Jensen
Program Manager, ARL-SETA Contract

“Look for something that is going to give them a good quality of life. Something that is going to be less stressful but meaningful.
