What Our Veterans Have to Say
MWD/LWD Manager
“In the military, I was an Aviation Electrician. I learned how to troubleshoot flight control systems, and the software and tools that I use here have many of the same functions. We are basically piloting underground.
I really appreciate that I always have someone else to call if I can't figure something out. This industry is a lot like the military: you can start at the bottom and work your way to the top. And if you show up with a can-do attitude, anything is possible.”
MWD Operator
“The military and the oil & gas industry are very similar: both involve constant challenges while providing a service.
In a career like this, your discipline to stay focused on tasks regardless of external circumstances will be extremely valuable. You will also see that SDI and the military share the same values of safety, teamwork, innovation, passion, and humanity. Their commitment to safety and teamwork are values that I appreciate the most.”
Remote Operations & Measurement Support Manager
“Transitioning from military life to civilian life can leave a void that is hard to fill when working a monotonous job within the same four walls day in and day out.
In addition to that, my experience as an Air Force Munitions Systems Technician & Inspector didn’t translate to many “normal” civilian jobs. However, safety, attention to detail, and integrity are skills that I can leverage here. I've found a familiar atmosphere where we complete each mission with trust and integrity.”
