GE Aerospace Resume Template for Veterans

What GE Aerospace looks for

GE Aerospace runs on FLIGHT DECK, its lean operating model, which focuses relentlessly on 'safety, quality, delivery, and cost, always in that order'. Its culture rests on three lean behaviors: respect for people, continuous improvement, and customer driven. Its veteran recruiting describes work that makes an immediate impact on safety, quality, delivery, and cost. The company says engineering, IT, manufacturing, and machinery skills fit its core business best. Veterans come in three ways: Direct Hire, a SkillBridge placement of up to 180 days (75% placement rate), or the Military Officer Leadership Program rotation.

Bullet formula: Report results in FLIGHT DECK order: '[Action] on [engine, process, or team], improving [safety] → [quality] → [delivery] → [cost] by [X]'. Lead with the safety or quality result, then delivery and cost.

Do

• Order your bullets' outcomes as safety, then quality, then delivery, then cost, the way GE Aerospace ranks them.
• Show continuous improvement with lean tools: root cause, standard work, and waste removed.
• Name the engines you worked on, especially GE engines such as the F414, F110, T700, or LM2500.
• Include your clearance details. GE says some roles require one, and listing it can streamline hiring.
• Ask a GE Aerospace employee for a referral. The company encourages them.
• Officers: check the Military Officer Leadership Program criteria. You need 5–12 years of commissioned service, a bachelor's degree, at least 4 years on active duty in your last 5, and no more than 2 years since separation.

Avoid

• Don't lead with cost savings when there's a safety or quality story. GE puts safety first, always.
• Don't assume a remote role. GE says most jobs are based at one of its sites.
• Don't write generic leadership bullets without a measured process improvement.
