Security clearance job guide

About security clearance jobs

Security clearance jobs involve access to classified information or sensitive government work. The exact requirement varies: some employers need an active clearance, while others may consider candidates who are eligible to obtain one.

Do you need an active security clearance?

Read the wording in each job posting carefully. An active-clearance requirement is different from a requirement that you be eligible for a clearance or able to obtain one after hiring.

Individuals cannot apply for a security clearance on their own. A federal agency or cleared employer must initiate the process. If a posting says that the employer will sponsor a clearance, it generally means the organization is willing to begin that process for a qualified candidate.

Active clearance required
The employer expects you to already hold the stated clearance, often with a recent investigation or current eligibility.
Ability to obtain a clearance
You may apply without an active clearance, but employment can depend on completing the required investigation and adjudication.
Sponsorship not stated
Do not assume that a new clearance will be sponsored. Confirm the requirement with the employer before investing substantial time in the process.
How security clearances are initiated— Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency

Understanding clearance terminology

Clearance language tells you what kind of access the role may require. It does not describe the job function, and two jobs with the same title may have different clearance requirements.

Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret
These are national-security clearance levels associated with different degrees of classified access.
Top Secret / SCI
The role may require Top Secret eligibility plus access to Sensitive Compartmented Information.
Public Trust
Public Trust is a suitability or fitness determination for certain sensitive positions; it is not a security clearance.
Public Trust and security clearance explained— U.S. Office of Personnel Management

Common types of security clearance jobs

Cleared work appears across government agencies, defense contractors, consultancies, and the companies that support them. Common searches include:

  • Software engineering, cybersecurity, systems administration, and data analysis
  • Intelligence analysis, investigations, linguistics, and program management
  • Aerospace, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering
  • Logistics, skilled trades, facilities, operations, and administrative support
