Job description

Description

Leidos is seeking a Field Engineering Technician to provide field inspections of utility poles across New England.

This is an HOURLY full-time role with hours contingent on availability of work.

Field Engineering Tech Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will travel around New England (CT, MA, NY, NH) to collect data, field measurements, and photos of utility poles. This role will also include meeting with joint pole owners to determine appropriate attachment heights for new 3rd party attachers. These poles have maintenance concerns identified by our client in which our field engineers will document these concerns and collect the necessary data for Leidos designers to design their solutions and fixes. In general, travel will be limited on most weeks, but overnight stays are occasionally required depending on the workload. Technicians are expected to meet the goals / expectations set on a weekly basis by their supervisor and communicate their status / progress effectively. As fielding skills are learned, the potential for learning/performing design will be presented as well.

Significant walking is necessary; 95% of this position requires field-related work. Candidate will need to be outside year-round and every week as weather and personal safety permit and could be subject to inspection of poles in the following areas: urban, rural, backyard pole lines, private properties, and Transmission and Distribution Right of Ways.
Work locations assigned vary monthly. If the work locations are long distances from the candidate's home, hotels can be provided (including per diem supplements for meals generally between $50-$70 dependent on work location). Most weeks, the technician will be working locally (within a 1-2hr drive one-way).
Candidate can either drive their own personal vehicle with a mileage reimbursement ($0.725/mi) or each week they can get a rental truck/SUV paid for by Leidos.
Candidate will receive 16 to 24 hours of training with an experienced field engineer prior to working alone. Hours are flexible based on need dates of inspections. Candidate will be accountable for following Leidos safety procedures and reporting progress daily.

Additional benefits that Field Engineering Techs can look forward to:

Flexible Work Hours. Many Technicians opt to work 10-hour days and take 2-3 extra days off each week.
Per-Diem supplements between $50-$70 for meals while staying overnight in hotels.

Field Engineering Tech qualifications:

High School diploma
Preferred candidate would possess experience within the power distribution field and/or an AS/BS in engineering (or related STEM Field).
The ideal candidate has prior experience doing field work and distribution component identification.
Candidates must be able to work in both team and independent environments and to organize work to meet deadlines.
Must be local to the area.
Knowledge of NESC Standards and Client Standards is helpful.
Proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.)
Excellent verbal and written communications skills.
Willingness to perform both field and office work.
Ability to work long days in outdoor environments.
Valid Driver's License and ability to utilize cell phone and 8MP camera.

Successful candidates can look forward to a fast paced, diverse work environment & flexible work hours/work arrangements as well as managers who will encourage career development and growth.

About the role

This is a Mid Level role in the Engineering, Construction and Energy field (Construction and field engineering) at Leidos. Mid-level roles usually expect some years of relevant experience and the ability to work with limited supervision.

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

Does the pay work here? (estimate)

Gross salary a year Filing State income tax rate %

Estimate for a wage earner: 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction (IRS), Social Security 6.2% up to $184,500, Medicare 1.45% (+0.9% above $200,000 single / $250,000 married), and a state rate you set; set your own state tax rate. It ignores credits, pre-tax deductions, local taxes and benefits. Sources: IRS: tax year 2026 inflation adjustments · SSA wage base per Federal Register notice 2025-19763.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.

The city

The place in numbers

Framingham has 72,399 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 1.0% of the population of Massachusetts. It covers 25 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,891 people per square mile. The median age is 37.5, 6% younger than the state median (37.5 against 40.0).

US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $627,300, which is 5.8 times the median household income ($107,419); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 54.8% of households own their home, 12% below the state average (54.8% against 62.5%).

Work and pay

The Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metropolitan area has 2,703,890 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $66,620 a year, 31% above the national median ($66,620 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (265,830 jobs, median $56,580); management (254,700 jobs, median $166,580); business and financial operations (242,960 jobs, median $102,660). The area is most specialised in life, physical, and social science (2.6 times) and architecture and engineering (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($166,580) and legal ($135,160). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Middlesex County was 3.8%. 72.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Middlesex County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 60.5% drive alone, 2.4% use public transit, 2.8% walk, 19.6% work from home. 23.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 11% above the state average (23.9% against 21.5%).

People and education

48.7% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 3% above the state share (48.7% against 47.3%). 33.1% of residents were born outside the United States, 83% above the state share (33.1% against 18.1%). The poverty rate is 10.4%, 4% above the state rate (10.4% against 10.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 72°F (22.4°C), and the coolest is Jan at 26°F (-3.5°C). About 1,206 mm (47 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Oct is the wettest month (123 mm) and Jan the driest (80 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
