Life at IDS
Career Development

Training. Education. Development.
IDS provides multiple opportunities throughout the year to ensure that our engineers are capable of receiving the annual required Professional Development Hours (PDHs). These include Vendor Lunch and Learns, Conference, and Internal Lessons Learned, totaling over 2,300 hours last year.

Open Door Policy
IDS’s open door policy creates an atmosphere where employees feel empowered to contribute to organizational success. Our goal is to improve communication, increase trust, enhance employee engagement, and gain knowledge from peers sharing ideas.

Celebrating Career Milestones
We take pride in celebrating our employee’s major milestones. Whether it’s an employee gaining their PE or RPLS License to recognizing a monumental anniversary, we make sure they know how valued and supported they are in their professional journey.
The Fun Side of Work
Summer Bowling League
Our bowling league is the highlight of the summer! Employees join in for some fierce competition and fun after work.
IDS Social Events
Growing as a team is important, even outside the office. From volleyball to cornhole, we participate in activities that grow connections between coworkers.
Holiday Competitions
Holidays come along with some friendly competition. Whether it be gator wrestling during Mardis Gras, baking contests for the Winter Holidays, or Halloween costume parties, we love to go all out!
Annual Company Outing
Each year, our employees come together for a fun-filled outing. In the past we've enjoyed the electric atmosphere of an Astros game and a trip to the Houston Zoo. This year, we're celebrating with a company-wide picnic!
