Industry Pathways | Energy, Utilities & Sustainable Infrastructure
July 7, 2026 12:00pm - 2:00pm ET
About This Event
The energy, utilities, and sustainable infrastructure sector is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States, and it is actively seeking the disciplined, mission-driven talent that veterans bring to the workforce. From modernizing the electrical grid to advancing renewable energy solutions and building the infrastructure that powers communities, this industry offers veterans a compelling opportunity to continue serving a purpose larger than themselves. FourBlock's Industry Pathways: Energy, Utilities & Sustainable Infrastructure event connects transitioning service members and veterans directly with hiring professionals and leaders from top companies in this space.
During this virtual event, you will hear firsthand from talent acquisition partners and industry professionals at organizations like Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Draper about how your military experience translates into high-demand roles across engineering, project management, operations, logistics, and sustainability initiatives. Whether you supported critical infrastructure during your service, managed large teams and complex systems, or worked in technical or logistics environments, this event will help you see the direct pathways between your background and a thriving civilian career in energy and infrastructure.
FourBlock exists to bridge the gap between military service and meaningful civilian careers. This event is part of our ongoing Industry Pathways series, designed to give veterans an inside look at specific sectors, demystify the hiring process, and build the connections that lead to real opportunities. Come ready to engage, ask questions, and take your next step with confidence.
