Fluor Makes Number 23 on Overall List
IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) was recently named as one of G.I. Jobs’ Top 50 Most Military Friendly Employers in the United States. This year, Fluor ranked number 23 on the top 50 list.
“Fluor is honored to be named to G.I. Jobs top 50 list and our company greatly values the contributions of both active duty and former military to our country and economy,” said James Cartner, Senior Vice President of Fluor’s Government Group.
“Military service is a great training ground for a corporate career. The core competencies demonstrated in military operations – planning, execution and leadership – are all basic components of a successful business strategy,” said Rich McCormack, publisher of G.I. Jobs.
“The knowledge, experience and dedication of job candidates with military backgrounds are extremely valuable to many of Fluor’s clients, said Robert Rathburn, Director of Human Resources for Fluor’s Government Group. “We feel an important part of why many former members of the military chose Fluor is because we value employees with this type of training and experience. Fluor also provides them the opportunity to leverage the skills and instruction they have already received while challenging them in new ways.”
G.I. Jobs’ list, drawn from a sample of an estimated 2,500 companies (those with over $1 billion annual revenues), was created based on company criteria including the strength of company military recruiting efforts, the percentage of new hires with prior military service, and company policies toward national guard and reserve service.
