Since 1905, PG&E's veteran coworkers have defended and served our country through 10 major war periods. For over 100 years, PG&E has actively sought out transitioning service members, National Guard Members and Reservists to continue that proud service. Why? Because your sacrifice and commitment, your pride and humility, your work ethic, your focus on safety and your ability to think strategically under pressure are exactly the qualities we need to deliver safe, reliable and affordable energy to our customers and communities in California. For all these reasons and more, PG&E depends on our veteran coworkers to serve our hometowns.
