Referral Radar has chosen its next set of Hot Jobs! These are positions that are critical to the business and are often hard to fill. The Hot Jobs prize of $2,000 will be awarded to employees when their referral is hired, and two winners will be drawn monthly. Our first Hot Jobs drawing will be for referrals submitted from May 30 – June 30 for the following requisitions:
- 2023-9287 Marine Mechanic (Outside Machinist)
- 2023-9952 Pipe Welder
If you know someone who meets the criteria and refer them for these positions, you have an excellent chance of collecting the $2,000 prize.
In conjunction with Hot Jobs, we will still be awarding prizes in the other two categories: Tier I and Tier II. For a reminder on the Tier I and II prize categories, and for more information on Referral Radar, see below.
Do you know someone who would be a good fit at Electric Boat? We’re growing and always searching for the most talented, quality individuals to join the company. What better resource to find this talent than from EB’s own group of talented employees? This is why we launched “Referral Radar,” EB’s Employee Referral Program. If you know someone who has what it takes, tell them about our winning team and how to apply. We’re looking for employees who are the best, brightest and work hard. Talk about career opportunities with your valued friends and colleagues and recommend they apply for a position at Electric Boat by uploading their resume at www.ebcareers.com. When they apply for a position and list you as the referral, you will be entered into a raffle for various prizes each month.
Referral Bonus Guidelines
- For each referral you will receive one entry into the raffle. There is no limit on the number of people who can apply and list you as a referral; however, the same person applying for different positions will count as only one referral.
- Raffle prizes will fall into three categories: Hot Jobs (these are our positions critical to the business and often hard to fill), Tier I and Tier II.
- A $2,000 Hot Jobs prize will be awarded to employees when their referral is hired; two winners drawn quarterly.
- A $1,000 Tier-I prize will be awarded to employees when their referral is hired; two winners drawn monthly.
- A $500 Tier-II prize will be awarded to employees when their referral applies for a position; two winners drawn monthly,
- Participation in this Employee Referral Program is strictly voluntary, and the recruitment efforts do not involve significant time. The activity involved in this referral program is limited to after-hours solicitation done only among friends, relatives, neighbors and acquaintances as part of the employee’s social affairs.

If eligible, you can fill out the referral form. You can find a link to this form on EB Landing and Homeport (click ‘Business and Employee Support’ and look under the ‘Human Resources’ category).
