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!

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.
