RESTON, Virginia — Amentum, a global advanced engineering and technology provider traded on the New York Stock Exchange as AMTM, plans to relocate its headquarters to a state-of-the-art facility here next year. The move from its current Chantilly, Virginia, location highlights the company’s rapid expansion into nuclear energy, space systems and digital infrastructure.

The new site sits in Reston Station’s Metro Plaza District, a 16-story LEED-Gold certified tower designed by architect Helmut Jahn. Employees will have direct access to the Washington Metro’s Silver Line. Amentum’s chief operating officer, Steve Arnette, called the investment a signal of the company’s direction. “This modern headquarters, featuring a next-generation Technology Showcase, will bring our teams together and serve as a destination for customers, employees, and partners,” Arnette said.

The showcase will let visitors experience Amentum’s solutions up close. Company leaders say it aligns with rising global demands and U.S. government priorities. Amentum’s chief people officer, Darren Burton, highlighted the location’s appeal. “The new Reston Station hub will position Amentum at the center of one of the most dynamic innovation corridors in the world,” Burton said. He described the space as a collaborative environment that matches the firm’s innovative culture.

Executives expect the headquarters to improve employee experience and cut operating costs. Amentum employs about 50,000 people across more than 70 countries on all seven continents. The company works with the United States and its allies on challenges in science, security and sustainability.

From Chantilly, just a short drive away, Amentum will shift to this upgraded hub. The Reston building offers prime connectivity in the D.C. region, placing the company amid tech and government hubs. Arnette tied the decision to growth in key sectors. Nuclear energy markets are accelerating. Space technology demands more solutions. Critical digital infrastructure needs advanced engineering.

Burton emphasized workforce benefits. The design supports teamwork. It bolsters Amentum’s standing as a partner on major issues. Safety, collaboration and well-being drive the company’s commitments, according to its statements.

Amentum traces its focus to undaunted curiosity and ambition. The firm challenges conventions to push progress. This headquarters move fits that pattern. It positions teams for integrated solutions on pressing global problems.

Details emerged in a company announcement. Forward-looking comments include plans for the Technology Showcase and benefits from the location. Amentum cautioned that results could vary due to factors like costs, performance and regulatory conditions. Risks appear in its SEC filings, including the annual 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024.
