About The Position

Protect National Security at the Heart of the Pacific Leidos is seeking a mission‑driven Physical Security Specialist to join our team in Honolulu, Hawaii , supporting the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Special Security Office at Headquarters, JBPHH. This is a unique opportunity to play a critical role in safeguarding some of the nation’s most sensitive information and facilities—while working in one of the most dynamic regions in the world. In this role, you’ll be a trusted expert helping PACAF defend against criminal, terrorist, and hostile intelligence threats. Your work will directly strengthen the security posture of PACAF’s Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) enterprise across the Pacific theater. You’ll shape policy, evaluate and enhance physical security systems, and ensure that critical facilities—new and existing—meet the highest standards. From conducting SCIF site surveys to reviewing Construction Security Plans and Fixed Facility Checklists, your expertise will help protect the people, missions, and assets that keep our nation secure. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to make a measurable impact on national defense while growing your career alongside a highly skilled team. If you want to apply your expertise in a role that blends technical challenge, mission impact, and the opportunity to support U.S. Air Force operations across the Pacific, this position offers an exceptional path forward. If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.
