A Timely Reflection
This month, PSM hosted Congressman Brian Mast, a U.S. Army veteran. He met with our veteran team members, listened to their stories, and stayed beyond his scheduled time. His visit reminded us of the sacrifices veterans make and the value they bring to every workplace.
With Labor Day approaching, it sparked an important reflection: veterans are central not only to our nation's defense but also to America's workforce. At PSM, their experience helps us power the world more sustainably and shape the future of clean energy.
The Unique Value Veterans Bring
Transitioning from military service to the civilian workforce is not always straightforward. Yet, the qualities developed in uniform adaptability, teamwork, and problem-solving under pressure align perfectly with challenges in the gas turbine aftermarket.
Veterans excel at PSM because:
- Operational excellence is second nature: Just as missions require flawless execution, power plant upgrades demand precision and safety.
- Leadership is ingrained: Veterans know how to lead teams, mentor peers, and inspire confidence in high-stakes environments.
- Adaptability is proven: Whether in the field or on deployment, flexibility is essential. That same mindset applies to troubleshooting complex turbine issues or adapting to new fuels like hydrogen.
- Commitment runs deep: A career built on service translates to dedication to colleagues, customers, and long-term solutions.
Veterans at PSM: A Natural Fit
The work we do at PSM requires innovation, technical expertise, and trust. Veterans understand the importance of mission alignment, and their presence strengthens our culture of accountability and integrity.
