Technical and professional services firm Engility Holdings [EGL] yesterday said it plans to realign its organizational structure at the start of 2013 to streamline operations and improve its competitiveness and agility.
The company plans to operate through four business areas with a central operating structure that consolidates support functions from some of the existing business units, providing shared services center to support company operations while at the same time allowing its operations to focus on their customers and pursuing business opportunities.
Currently, Engility has seven business areas under two operating segments, Professional Support Services and Mission Support Services, which are holdovers from when the company was spun out from L-3 Communications [LLL] in July. Under the forthcoming structure, the two-group structure will collapse into one that oversees the four new business areas.
The four business areas are Training and Mission Support Services, Technology Services, Engineering and Program Support Services, and International Development Services.
John Heller, who currently leads the Professional Support Services division, will lead operations for Engility under the new organizational structure. John Craddock, who is president of the Mission Support Services division, will lead a new strategic relations function that is aimed at strengthening high level relationships with customers and other key government stakeholders.
As a part of the restructuring, Engility says it will offer voluntary employee separation packages to a number of management and administrative support employees and expects further job reductions to achieve “an industry-leading cost structure.”
