Veterans
“I am proud to be a veteran at MidAmerican Energy! The company recognizes our advanced skills and provides networking and mentorship opportunities through our VETRN employee resource group. We have a family at MidAmerican that supports each other and works hard to help other veteran employees and veterans in the community.”- Milt Buker, manager, contractor operations
MidAmerican is proud to have veterans and active members of the military as part of our talented and dedicated workforce. Men and women from all branches of the military possess qualities that strengthen our business. In addition to needed technical skills, we understand veterans and active members bring valuable qualities to our teams, including attention to detail, commitment to safety, effective planning, reliability and strong leadership. We proudly welcome military personnel and veterans, as well as their spouses and families, into our communities.
