How has Hensel Phelps supported the transition away and upon return?

Hensel Phelps has been very understanding and supportive when I need to take time for military training.  

Dustin Sack, Army Reserves

Field Engineer, Southwest Region

In a typical training cycle, what is your time commitment?

In person, I’m at my unit about three days a month. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Every year, we also do about two weeks straight to catch up on all the things that we couldn’t get done, as far as training or sending our soldiers to specialty schools.

Kyle Jones, National Guard

Field Engineer, Southwest Region

How has your military experience helped you at Hensel Phelps?

My military experience has helped my ability to communicate better with the coworkers, trade partners and owners that I interact with. My experience has also helped me get along with people even if we have drastically different backgrounds.
