Military and Veterans
Dominion recognizes and honors active military, veterans and retired military. We know you've worked hard to gain special knowledge and skills. We also know that a leap from the military career to a civilian job can be an adjustment.
At Dominion, we offer rewarding careers, not just another job. We offer challenging opportunities that demand technical and problem-solving skills, leadership abilities, craft skills and much more. We need experienced team players to keep Dominion moving forward, such as technicians, operators, mechanics, engineers, communicators, and administrative support, to name a few.
We also support those who are active in the armed forces with an award-winning military leave-of-absence policy.
