We proudly support veteran employment, recognising their valuable skills and leadership.
With 20% of our workforce comprised of ex-defence personnel, we actively empower veterans through contributions to meaningful work, training and ongoing support in an inclusive environment.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) invests heavily in training its service men and women. This means that when they leave the ADF, veterans have a broad range of skills and experience.
Our business recognises the value and unique experience of our veterans and encourages employment opportunities for those who have served our country.
We will:
- Recognise the skills and value that veterans can bring to our business
- Support the employment of veterans, ensuring that veterans have equal opportunities in gaining employment with our business
- Aim to provide career opportunities in our business to veterans
- Actively seek to understand how veterans’ skills and experience can translate into civilian skills and contribute to our business
- Provide suitable training, mentoring and coaching to veterans to assist their integration into our business
- Ensure our HR policies equitably support the recruitment and retention of all employees, including veterans.

We were honored to receive the 2023 Employer of the Year award for our commitment to hiring veterans. Poseidon Sea Pilots values the unique skills and traits that veterans bring to the table, such as innovation, planning, and the ability to operate independently. These attributes are particularly useful in our work safeguarding infrastructure in remote locations across Australia.
Our focus on employing veterans not only contributes to our own success but also supports the Australian government's efforts to protect critical infrastructure. The cohesive teams formed by our veterans allow for effective collaboration and teamwork in the remote areas we work in.
