Defense infrastructure training and operations support for military and civilian agencies
Akima Infrastructure Services operates a 501–1,000-person organization providing distributed learning platforms and operational support to DoD and civilian agencies. The tech stack—Tridium Niagara, Maximo, SCADA, BMS, plus Microsoft enterprise tools—reflects deep integration with industrial control systems and facilities management. Aggressive hiring velocity (221 roles posted in 30 days) concentrated in engineering (109) and ops (80) points to scaling field operations and fleet modernization work, while the pain-point list (DoD cybersecurity compliance, NavSEA standards, SLA performance) reveals the core tension: delivering training and infrastructure services under high regulatory and availability constraints.
Notable leadership hires: Network Operations Center Lead, Shop Lead, Deicing Lead, Estimating Director
