Civil Engineer with Top Secret Clearance

Job Title: Civil Engineer

Location: Washington, DC, USA - On-site

Job Type: Full-time

Security Clearance: DOD Top Secret clearance required

Position Overview:

Our customer is seeking support to address mission-critical requirements associated with ongoing and future construction at the Building Complex and other protected sites in the National Capital Region (NCR). As construction activities take place within the Building complex and other NCR sites, our customer must ensure that the protective equipment, materials, and infrastructure necessary to fulfill its protective mission are fully supported and integrated into evolving construction projects.

These construction efforts introduce significant logistical, coordination, and planning demands that require specialized support across technical, logistical, and financial disciplines to ensure all protective measures are effectively aligned with both current and future requirements. The complexity of integrating protective equipment and materials into construction projects, while maintaining operational readiness and adhering to strict security protocols, underscores the need for additional resources.

While this effort does not involve performing actual construction activities, it will require close coordination with ongoing construction projects to meet critical deadlines, address logistical challenges, and minimize disruptions to operations. Personnel with relevant backgrounds in areas such as construction management, infrastructure planning, and financial oversight will play a key role in navigating technical, logistical, and financial requirements while ensuring compliance with the agency's stringent security protocols and operational standards.

In addition to addressing current construction plans, this requirement will also support future efforts to ensure the continued alignment of protective measures with future requirements for the Building Complex and NCR sites. Due to the sensitive nature of this work, TOP SECRET security clearances are required for all personnel involved to ensure compliance with access restrictions and confidentiality requirements. This level of clearance is critical to safeguarding the integrity of the agency's operations and ensuring the seamless integration of protective equipment, materials, and infrastructure into the updated facilities.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary architecture/engineering/construction teams, third-party contractors, and other government agencies to advance the customer's protective mission.
