A Continued Commitment to Veterans: ESG Receives Third Consecutive HIRE Vets Medallion Award
Energy Systems Group (ESG) is proud to announce that we have once again been recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor with the 2025 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award. This marks our third consecutive year receiving a Medallion Award. It reflects our continued commitment to employing, supporting, and advancing veterans across our organization.
The HIRE Vets Medallion is the only federal-level award recognizing employers for their investment in recruiting, retaining, and developing veteran talent. Receiving Gold status again underscores our dedication to creating meaningful career pathways in the energy and infrastructure sector for those who have served our nation.
Veterans Strengthen Every Part of ESG
Veterans and active-duty reservists are an essential part of ESG’s workforce, contributing across engineering, operations, construction, project management, and mission-critical federal support. Their leadership, discipline, and collaborative approach help us deliver high-performing, resilient solutions for our clients.
Veterans bring more than technical experience. They bring perspective shaped by service, teamwork, and a deep sense of responsibility. These qualities strengthen our culture and elevate the work we do every day.
Investing in Veteran Growth and Support
Our commitment to veterans goes far beyond hiring. ESG continues to expand programs that help former service members build long-term careers within our organization, including:
-
Clear pathways for professional advancement
-
Leadership development and career training
-
Mentorship, support, and resources through our Veteran & Military Resource Group (VMRG)
The VMRG plays a central role in connecting veterans, active-duty reservists, and their families with resources, networking opportunities, and peer support. This group reflects ESG’s broader mission to foster a culture rooted in respect, integrity, and service.
"Receiving the 2025 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion is an honor and a reflection of the values we strive to uphold every day. Veterans bring extraordinary dedication and experience to ESG. We are committed to ensuring they have the resources, opportunities, and support to build rewarding careers with us.”
- Jeff Blum, Energy Systems Group CEO
Looking Ahead
As ESG continues to grow, so does our responsibility to support the veterans who choose to build their careers with us. Being recognized for the third year in a row is more than an award. It is a reminder of the trust veterans place in our organization and the importance of maintaining a workplace where they can thrive.
We are proud to stand alongside our veteran employees and honored to celebrate their service, leadership, and ongoing contributions to ESG.
