Furthermore, as part of project development, engineers are frequently requested to perform site and condition assessments on existing transmission lines which can often be through remote and rugged terrain; a willingness and interest to perform this field work is also necessary. Additionally, the successful candidate will periodically interface directly with clients, and will provide assistance to Project Managers and other project stakeholders.

• Strategic development
• Expanding a portfolio of business
• Partnering with a variety of utility clients nationwide

Education & Experience:

Ideally, candidate would be within driving distance of our office in Portland, OR. We value in person interaction especially for entry level candidates to enrich your career development and collaboration with project teams. The candidate will be expected to report in-person in a full time or hybrid schedule. However, all qualified candidates residing in the U.S. will be considered including those for work-remote only. Furthermore, all employees will be considered to transition to remote positions once established at Leidos.
