🔥 Who's Recruiting at Tulsa Tech

The OESC event listing names six employers with immediate openings, and says more will be there:

Tulsa Police Department. A natural fit if you want to keep serving in uniform.
ONE Gas. The Tulsa-based natural gas utility, the parent of Oklahoma Natural Gas. Field and technical work rewards the discipline the military teaches. Browse its openings at jobs.onegas.com.
Melton Truck Lines. The Tulsa flatbed carrier has a long track record of hiring veterans. If you drove heavy equipment in the service, ask about the path to a CDL. Learn more at meltontruck.com.
Saint Francis Hospital. The flagship of the Saint Francis Health System. Former medics and corpsmen should come ready to talk about their clinical experience.
City of Owasso. Municipal jobs in the suburb up U.S. 169, a short commute from north Tulsa.
Hyatt Regency Tulsa. Downtown hotel and hospitality work.

OESC hasn't published a headcount or a full list of roles for any of these employers, so we won't guess at one.

✅ Who This Event Is For

OESC built this one around veterans and their families. That includes military spouses, who often have to rebuild a career with every move. The event page doesn't spell out whether job seekers outside that group will be turned away. If you aren't a veteran or a military family member, call ahead before you make the drive.

Can't make the 29th? OESC's veteran services team, staffed by veterans, offers one-on-one career help for eligible veterans and spouses, plus monthly Veteran Job Clubs where you meet hiring companies face to face.

📋 How to Show Up Ready on October 29

Bring several copies of a civilian resume. Translate your MOS or rating into plain language. A recruiter at a utility or a hospital may not know what your job code means.
Bring your DD-214 if you have it. Some public employers ask for proof of service to apply veterans' preference.
Get there early. The event wraps at 1:30 p.m., and the best conversations happen before the line builds.
Plan the drive. The campus sits on East 91st Street, right next to Tulsa Riverside Airport.
Confirm before you go. OESC's listing doesn't mention registration or cost. Call OESC's Tulsa Ports Career Center at 918-581-2541 with questions.
