Recognizing and remembering those who serve and sacrifice: Meet Scott
Last updated on
On Nov. 11, we recognize Veterans Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada in honour of those who have served and those who continue to serve and sacrifice, and in memory of those who gave their lives for our freedom.
We are proud to work alongside nearly 200 veterans and soldiers and value the diverse skills, experience, and perspective that veterans and military personnel bring to our workplace.
We spoke to Scott Jordan — one of our veterans whom we are grateful to have on our team. Thank you to Scott and all our veterans for your service.
This is me, Scott
I am a husband, father, veteran and avid runner. My family is very important to me. I have been married for 24 years and I have two wonderful daughters: Emma, who is a sophomore at Texas A&M University and Ella who is a junior in high school. I am a passionate runner — I have completed three marathons and still try to run each day, although I can’t go quite as far as I used to!
I enlisted in the Army when I turned 18 because I wanted to join a cause greater than myself and serve my country. My father, grandfather and brother were also in the Army — our service is a big part of who we are and has shaped who I have become today.
I joined the military and began my career as an Army Cavalry Scout — a reconnaissance specialist working to understand, gather information and make recommendations based on what’s happening behind enemy lines. Army Cavalry Scouts can be defined as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the Army, as well as it’s ‘first line of defense’ which can potentially save countless lives based on the intel they collect. I spent three years in active duty and five years in inactive ready reserve — I have taken many skills I learned in my military service into my role with TC Energy today.

At TC Energy, I am a Talent Acquisition Advisor focused on recruiting talent in the United States. Veterans bring many valuable skills to our organization that we often look for in prospective talent like leadership, teamwork and attention to detail. Veterans have many diverse experiences that contribute to our organization’s success — I am proud to work alongside those who have served and champion the hiring of veterans within our organization.
This Veterans Day, I plan to take some time to reflect with family and friends on my service, those who served and the ones currently serving who allow us to enjoy our freedom each and every day!
