Leidos Energy helps utilities address complex challenges through comprehensive, performance-based solutions delivered across the full project lifecycle.

Our capabilities include engineering, planning, project management, construction management, and commissioning services for electric power substations, transmission and distribution systems, protection and controls design, and electrification programs. Utilities nationwide rely on Leidos for trusted power industry expertise, demonstrated by our work with more than 75 investor-owned utilities and over 100 municipal and cooperative utilities, as well as a growing portfolio of private developer clients.

Your greatest work is ahead!

We evaluate a wide variety of technologies, from wind turbines and solar panels to battery storage systems, fuel cells, and advanced fuel conversion technologies.

We provide expertise, guidance, and consultation to our clients, and our work is centered on supporting financial transactions - the development, financing, acquisition and sale of generation (and non-generation) hard assets. We identify technical and commercial risks and help our clients to find and/or evaluate solutions to their challenges. Because we are exposed to numerous unique projects over short periods of time, we (i) are diversified in technologies and commercial approaches to project execution; (ii) contribute to and learn how problems are solved by industry leaders and how those solutions drive financial viability; and (iii) benefit from this knowledge as a team and as individuals, resulting in a professional experience that evolves, is dynamic, and is well-rounded.

• Lead the project teams based on client requirements and objectives.
• Facilitate status review meetings among project team members and clients.
• Work with senior management on project proposals, bids, contracts, estimates, and schedules.
• Manage project requirements, scope, and change issues.
• Coach and counsel members of cross-functional teams to accomplish project goals, to meet established schedules, and resolve technical or operational issues.

• Experience in energy consulting and the evaluation of distributed generation, combined heat and power plants, utility consulting, electric power generation facilities, including renewable (solar, wind), hydroelectric, energy storage, thermal (combustion turbine, solid-fuel), carbon capture and sequestration, and/or other power generation technologies.
