Quindar is building an Industrial Security Program to support U.S. Government mission partners, particularly the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. This role is a hands-on position supporting the Facility Security Officer (FSO) in day-to-day security operations, compliance, and process development for classified mission execution. You will manage the full personnel security clearance lifecycle, including initial submissions, upgrades, and reinvestigations. You'll support classified employee onboarding and offboarding briefings, visitor control, and classified meeting logistics. Key responsibilities include reviewing SF-86 forms for adequacy, processing Visit Access Requests (VARs), and assisting with Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) self-inspections and audits.

Physical security operations—including badging, visitor access, and secure storage—are part of your scope. You'll also support security briefings, training programs, and ad hoc projects as the program scales. A significant focus is supporting newly established secure facilities and environments, including implementing industrial security requirements from Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) nominations to building and reviewing DD-254 forms (Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency security requirement documents).
