HIRING PATHS

Where your service counts

Military engineering work, from Army and Air Force engineer units to Navy Seabees, builds the same skills civil employers hire for: site work, construction oversight, surveying, utilities and project management.

  • Federal agencies hire civil engineers (occupational series 0810) through USAJOBS. Eligible veterans can apply under veterans' preference and the other veteran hiring paths on USAJOBS.
  • Service members near the end of their service can train with civilian employers through the Department of Defense SkillBridge program. Ask an employer below whether it is an approved SkillBridge partner.
  • Licensing still follows each state's rules. See PE licensing by state and the PE eligibility checker.
