Gene - Navy

Served in the Navy and then was hired by Hawthorne Cat in Hawaii. He currently works as a technician for their power generation customers.

“Anyone coming out of the military should take a look at Caterpillar. They should really take the time and apply. The benefits working for Caterpillar as a field service technician is very comparable to the industry and the benefits are very good. They provide sufficient coverage for me and my family.”

Mike – Military

Mike really appreciated clear goals and values in the military. He found a great deal of similarity in his Power Systems Technician job at a Cat dealer.

“My military experience is a good fit with HOLT CAT. The values and standards that Holt has are written down, clearly defined just like the military. The work I did in the military, lives depended on it. The work I do at Holt, lives depend on it.”
