The journey from the military to civilian workforce
Finding a job with stability and career advancement opportunities
Meet Matryal Green. A former Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, Matryal now works as a Field Metering Services Operations (FMS) Supervisor at Dominion Energy Ohio in Cleveland.
Matryal's journey from the military to Dominion Energy began after graduating from high school. He chose to enlist in the Air Force with the hopes of finding a path of development without the financial burden of college tuition. While in the Air Force, he worked as an electronics technician and was responsible for securing communication capability aircraft applications.
After his time in the Air Force, Matryal wanted something new: a job that offered career development opportunities, stability and competitive pay to provide for his family. He found an opportunity with Dominion Energy and onboarded at what was then called East Ohio Gas in Cleveland.
Now, as an FMS Operations Supervisor at Dominion Energy Ohio, Matryal manages crews that serve as first responders for routine gas work and gas emergencies. His favorite part of the job is having a platform to help coworkers develop and reach their career goals—taking pride in encouraging and watching his colleagues fulfill their aspirations and thrive.
Matryal loves working for Dominion Energy and encourages other veterans to consider joining him. "Dominion Energy is a company that has a lot to offer as it relates to career advancement," says Matryal. "From technical skills to managerial ability, the skills you learn in the military are very important to Dominion."
Besides the career development options at Dominion Energy, Matryal is also passionate about the educational opportunities. "The company offers tuition reimbursement to assist with reaching your career goals, which then encourages personal advancement, but also helps with the financial burden." For Matryal, the tuition reimbursement program helped him to achieve a Master's Degree. He's grateful that "the attributes that facilitate success in the military also translate well at Dominion Energy."
