At Grainger, we are proud to support Veterans, active military members and military families. We value the skills, experience, leadership and dedication you bring to the workforce. The loyalty required for service to our nation is exceptional, and such commitment to working as a team is inspiring. This sense of solidarity and service is part of Grainger’s core foundation.
Our tradition of military service began with our founder, William Grainger, who served in the U.S. Navy during World War I and later as a member of the War Production Board during World War II. As a Veteran, I am proud to work at a company built on the foundation of teamwork; trying new things, respecting and supporting each other and celebrating our achievements together.

Military experience teaches you how to lead, but also how to follow, adapt, and stay focused on a shared goal. Veterans bring that mindset and spirit of service and teamwork to Grainger every day, and it’s part of what makes our culture so special. As an Army Veteran myself, I’m proud that we create a place where veterans, military reservists and their families can find connection, support and opportunities to continue making an impact.

I have been fortunate to have a meaningful and fulfilling role with Grainger while serving as a Financial Management Officer in the IL Army National Guard. Grainger has consistently supported my military obligations and ensured this commitment would not impede my civilian career progress. I am so thankful to work for a company that consistently supports the military and truly means it!
