Junior Military Officer (Leadership Program)
About The Position
The Junior Officer Leadership Program (JOLP) is a civilian leadership transition program designed for former U.S. military commissioned officers. Through three 8-month rotational assignments within GE Vernova's Wind business, participants apply their military leadership experience in a commercial environment while developing business, technical, and operational expertise. The program is designed to help veterans successfully transition into the private sector, expand their professional network, and prepare for long-term leadership careers at GE Vernova. At GE Vernova, we have the Energy to Change the World. Building on over 130 years of experience, we are leading a new era of energy - electrifying the world while simultaneously working to decarbonize it. The Junior Officer Leadership Program (JOLP) is a unique opportunity for former US military officers to work in three high-impact roles within GE Vernova’s Wind business. Each candidate will complete three 8-month-long rotations and, for the latter two, will have the autonomy to choose the direction of his or her professional passion. We seek humble yet driven leaders that embrace GE’s core values, have a passion for technology and innovation, and a curiosity to continually learn and seek opportunities to improve what is around them. The program enables participants to build business skills and expand their network to ensure they are best positioned to lead in the commercial space. This program is intended for high-performing officers with a strong track record in their military experience. We challenge each JOLP to constantly ask questions, strategically challenge the status quo, and raise up their fellow teammates.
