Top Employers (San Diego: houses, neighborhood, maintenance)

[mdiggs1]

What are the companies that employ the largest number of people in the San Diego area? I'm looking for a rank list if possible, like the top 10 or 20. If you can add the actual number of employees the company has in the San Diego area, that would be great too.

Any info would be appreciated.

As you can see the biggest employer in San Diego is the Federal Government (Navy / Marines)

That list is skewed as even my Company isn't on it and it employees over 3000. I think it is because it has to be based in SD. Mine is based out of CA.

Qualcomm only employs 6000 people? That is little for the number of buildings in SD.
There are alot of companies that are missing on the list. My company is not even on the list, and it's the largest pharmaceutical too.

The Qualcomm number is pretty close I don't think they have 7,000 locally and that takes into considering the manufacturing line jobs they still have near ucsd. The one thing to remember is they are not like your typical tech company that puts most of the their employees in cubes. People are in offices though they may be shared that takes up way more space than cube farms common in the silicon valley.

Where are the major Northrop Grumman facilities? I did a google map search and noticed a cluster in the extreme north end near Rancho Bernardo. I would have thought the majority were in the military bases areas, or near the airport.

Maybe some facilities are more manufacturing, others are more engineering, still others are supply or warehouses? Hard to tell from google maps.


Here's what I am referring to:

"northrop grumman" near san diego - Google Maps

Any comments as to what programs are at what locations? For example, one req is for the Global Hawk program. Anyone know where that would be? Or, where the "Information Systems" sector locations and the "Aerospace Sector" locations would be?

Charles,

Referring to your map, items B & E on your map I believe are the aerospace side of the house or Northrop Grumman. I have seen another Northrop Grumman logo near the airport, but I can't remember where. I saw it from the MTS Trolley (Blue Line). I believe it is also aerospace with a new contract, Predators or something like that. Not sure 100%, so don't talk my observation as true gospel.

There also is a naval side of the house. Used to be Contiental Maritime. C.M .was purchased by Norfolk Shipsyards (VA) about 4 to six years ago. Later Norfolk Shipyards, was in turn later aquired by Northrop Grumman, Inc.

Fleet maintenance for Northrop Grumman is located at 1995 Bay Front Street. Just a liile bit north of BAE and NASSCO. They have a few positions, but not sure here to fully advise prospective applicants

For those seeking employement another "major" hirer for the US Navy is Epsilon Systems Solutions. Very easy to find by "Googling" it. There are a moderate amount of positions available right now.

I keep reading "Rancho Bernardo" and Global Hawk but the NG reqs say "San Diego".

Charles,

You may be right. Like I stated Predators or Global Hawk something like that. Like I said, don't take my word as gospel. Thanks for the correction.

Seems like I read in SD Tribune about a contract for communications or the like, that was with Northrop Grumman too. Just can't remember.

Trying to locate individual facets of Northrop Grumman is a real pain in the rear. Try finding Contiential Maritime, using Northrop Grumman website. LOL! That is one of the reasons when I was employed there, that Northrop Grumman purchased the beautiful bride (Norfolk Shipyards), that we (C.M.) were the ugly chld that came with the bride!

Rancho Bernardo is a neighborhood of San Diego.
