PKL Services, Inc. Veteran Employer Profile

Headquartered in Poway, CA, PKL was founded in 2003 by Mr. Samuel Flores, Jr.  Sam retired from the US Marine Corps as a Lieutenant Colonel after 30 years of dedicated service with extensive experience in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

PKL employs approximately 400 personnel in multiple countries and we are honored that so many of those personnel are veterans. We have traditionally maintained a workforce that is approximately 90% veterans!

PKL has supported the US Government and foreign governments in locations around the world to ensure the readiness of their aviation fleets. We incorporate aircraft maintenance, training, logistics, and program management in that endeavor. To do this well and effectively, we rely on the skilled expertise of PKL’s most valued asset – our employees.

The majority of our employees transition directly from the military to the civilian workforce, performing on contracts that allow the employees to directly utilize their aviation maintenance, training, and logistics experience in support of military contracts.

The aircraft on which our employees perform their duties and the associated contracts require unique technical skill sets for the various aircraft types and we are grateful that these veteran personnel continue to utilize and improve upon their skills while working for PKL. Our diverse and wide-ranging work environments allow our veterans to transition to civilian employment while operating in a work location and environment with which they are familiar.
