Supporting Military Heroes in YOUR Next Challenge
Our Commitment to Military Talent
To build projects that strengthen our nation’s infrastructure and keep our communities running smoothly, we need the very best people on our team. McCarthy has a long history of supporting former service members of the United States Armed Forces.
As a community builder, we are honored to support our military service members during their service and transition back into the workforce.
Your Drive for Excellence Inspires Us
The technical skills veterans bring, along with a team mentality and willingness to tackle the toughest construction challenges, all align directly with our core values. These help us deliver exceptional results for clients and communities.
Many Military Occupational Specialties are directly relevant and transferable to the work we do, and the camaraderie present in the military translates seamlessly to our project teams.
We want to be an employer of choice for veterans and continue to support the individuals who have done so much to help our nation.
McCarthy Chairman & CEO
Building the Next Mission Together
McCarthy actively partners with a variety of national and regional organizations to reach veterans looking for new opportunities. Once onboard, we provide training to get you off to a great start on your McCarthy career into both craft and salaried positions. SkillBridge provides the foundational support that enables many of these programs.
In 2025, McCarthy became an approved DoD SkillBridge partner, enabling us to hire veterans year-round across every region. SkillBridge allows transitioning service members to gain civilian work experience in their final 180 days of active duty, while still receiving military pay and benefits.
Since 2021, McCarthy has offered three 12-week fellowship cohorts per year, connecting transitioning service members with hands-on construction experience across office and project roles.
We connect with currently serving or recently transitioned military members through the ArmyPaYs database. McCarthy guarantees interviews to those who apply to our job postings, allowing candidates to have a conversation, often their first, with the private sector.
A veteran-owned partner delivering an accredited apprenticeship program - free to participating veterans - combining on-the-job training, mentorship, and technical instruction, with access to GI Bill benefits and housing assistance.
Connecting Special Operations talent with their next mission.
McCarthy is proud to partner with The Honor Foundation (THF), a transition program designed specifically for members of the U.S. Special Operations Forces community.
Through our involvement with THF, McCarthy connects with transitioning Special Operations professionals as they prepare to bring their leadership, adaptability, problem-solving abilities and mission-focused experience to the civilian workforce. Our teams participate in opportunities to build relationships with THF Fellows, share insight into careers in construction and introduce participants to McCarthy’s people, projects, and employee-owned culture.
