Maryland engineering giant Amentum moving corporate headquarters to Northern Virginia

Gaithersburg engineering contractor Amentum is leaving suburban Maryland for Chantilly, Virginia where it will consolidate its headquarters in its existing Westfields Boulevard office, Virginia and company leaders announced Monday. The move, which is expected to create 157 new Virginia jobs, comes roughly a year after Amentum closed its $1.9 billion all-cash purchase of Arlington-based PAE Inc. With that acquisition, and the September 2020 purchase of DynCorp International Inc., Amentum has grown to 44,000 employees in 85 countries and more than $9 billion in annual revenue.
