Did you know that 200,000 veterans leave the service every year to begin their civilian careers? That transition can be difficult. Job skills, responsibilities and certifications are often outlined much differently in non-military job descriptions, making it hard for many veterans to know if they’d be a good fit. That’s why we are excited to announce the release of “Your Next Mission: A Military to Civilian Guide to Launching a Career in Environmental Services.” This is a free resource for current and exiting service members to help them structure their job search, highlight transferrable skills, and catch the eye of hiring managers.
Did you know an estimated 31 million skilled trades people retired in 2020 alone? Many of those jobs went unfilled, because there was no one trained and ready to step in. We want to recognize the importance of these roles, as well as the intelligence and experience it takes to succeed in them. People in skilled trades keep our bridges safe, our appliances working, our vehicles efficient, our homes repaired, our roads clear, our water drinkable... and so much more. If you're looking for a meaningful career with good pay and steady demand, a skilled trade may be right for you. Check out our open roles to see if there's one that's right for you:

Despite its reputation as a mostly-male field, the environmental services industry is seeing more and more women join its ranks. For today's installment of our Women in Environmental Services blog series, we interviewed Project Manager Associate Marti Anderson about her work, how she ended up on this career path, and what advice she'd offer to others. Read the post to learn more about her story and insight.
If you've been involved in hiring, you know how frustrating it is when a new employee leaves a few weeks into the job. When this happens, it's typically a case of mismatched expectations: either the employee did not understand the true nature of the role and the expectations of the job, or possibly the company did not convey the position accurately. But how do we prevent these misunderstandings and decrease the potential for turnover? Talent Acquisition Director Jessica Alexander recommends two things in today's blog post.
Our veterans have earned our gratitude for their military service, and after transitioning to civilian careers many of them have earned our respect as skilled colleagues in the environmental services industry. This Veterans Day, we're proud to announce that the U.S. Department of Labor has recognized Cascade as a HIRE Vets Medallion Award recipient for our efforts to support our service men and women in their transition to civilian careers. Companies that earn this distinction meet rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming for veterans; dedicated human resource efforts; pay compensation and tuition assistance programs for veterans. We're honored to be counted among the organizations that dedicate themselves to this effort.
At this year's National Drilling Association Convention, Regional EHS Manager Dale Duscher and Client Services Manager Jay Boland were presented with the 2021 NDA Safety Award. We're honored by the recognition, and proud that this marks the fourth consecutive year we've earned this award. Thank you to our EHS team and crews working hard every day to ensure the highest standards of safety on every work site.
