Military-friendly employer

ConocoPhillips honors our former military employees through a variety of sponsored events and activities throughout the year, such as our annual clay shoot fundraiser.

In this event, local companies and wounded service men and women come together to raise funds for worthy organizations serving veterans, such as Hope for Warriors and Team Red, White & Blue. Many events and activities are held off-site and are open to family and friends to encourage our employees to get to know each other outside of work.

Patriot Employee Network LogoWe also maintain a Patriot Employee Network (PEN), with a mission to engage employees and their families in supporting our troops, wounded heroes and families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. As our newest employee network, PEN currently has over 300 members and continues to grow in size. Some of PEN’s activities include:

  • Recognizing and honoring contributions made to our country.
  • Facilitating discussion about those who serve and their contributions to our country.
  • Involving employees in the community by assisting local military-friendly organizations.
  • Supporting the company’s efforts to recruit and retain former service members.
  • Organizing “buddy system” pairing for incoming veteran employees.
  • Engaging in ongoing events and activities such as planting flags, sending letters and care packages, arranging networking events, participating in military-related recruiting, and more.

ConocoPhillips is proud to be a military-friendly company that recognizes the life experience, technical knowledge and leadership skills that you have to share. We invite you to join us now.

"ConocoPhillips values the discipline, service and mission-first qualities a veteran brings. I’ve been given opportunities and lots of support and encouragement. And I continue to learn new skills and grow within the company. What drew me to the company was the culture of how they treated people."

Becky Peavler Lower 48 Field Safety & Occupational Health Manager

"Our ‘Portraits of Courage’ sponsorship is an element of our longstanding commitment to support veterans. We’re proud to recognize the many veterans who serve this country and contribute their invaluable leadership and skills to ConocoPhillips and society."

Andrew Lundquist Senior Vice President, Government Affairs

"I have always been impressed with how the company lives up to its SPIRIT values which are well aligned with core Military Service values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. The skills and experiences I gained in the U.S. Navy has opened up many new and challenging leadership opportunities with the company and helped to advance my career at ConocoPhillips."
