I got to second this, and give some love to 5.11 Tactical. I wear 5.11 TacLite Pro Pants for just about everything, including work, robotics and FTAAing. They are comfortable, cool, durable and look very khaki like so they are great for business casual use. I have 5 pairs that are my "Work" pants that are going strong after 2 years of Cable Tech use. Pocket wise they have 8 pockets and a strap for hanging carabiners, all of them are useful and don't get in the way if they are full. Also once nice feature is reinforced knees that can take neoprene knee-pad inserts, for me its a godsend when building and tearing apart the field and working on bots.

I know it the prices might seem high, but they last a LONG time, and you can usually find deals by checking out some of there re-sellers.
