The program provides a range of IT services, including help desk, deskside support, Windows workstation engineering and maintenance, managed print services, ITSM, Active Directory services, and video conferencing, among others.

This position will be part of an Executive Support team focused on providing direct IT support to the Senior Leadership Offices within the Department of Justice.

Our staff are expected to be able to operate in spaces with senior-level government staff acting with the appropriate level of decorum, customer service skill, and clear professional communication.

Please note that this “white glove” service may sometimes require after-hours support to be provided.

As a result of the work that our customers do and the time pressures of the work they perform, our staff are often asked to provide assistance with limited visibility into the issues ahead of time. We expect team members to be flexible and able to adjust rapidly, with the strong technical skills needed to identify and resolve issue on the fly with limited reach back assistance.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.

Original Posting : October 30, 2025

For U.S. Positions : While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

Pay Range : Pay Range $72,150.00 - $130,425.00

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
