Security Clearance:

No clearance required.

This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE)-granted security clearance.

Sandia will conduct a pre-employment background review that includes
personal reference checks, law enforcement record checks, and employment
and education verifications. Further, employees in New Mexico must pass
a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to the work site.
Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information,
criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of
untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, rendering
the inability to perform the duties assigned and resulting in
termination of employment.

If hired without a clearance, and one subsequently becomes required
or you bid on positions that require a DOE-granted security clearance, a
pre-processing background review that includes personal reference
checks, law enforcement record and credit checks, and employment and
education verifications may be conducted prior to a required federal
background investigation. Applicants for DOE-granted security clearances
must be U.S. citizens and be able to obtain and maintain the
appropriate DOE security clearance as required for the position.
