Description
The Leidos Defense Sector is seeking a Physical Security Subject Matter Expert (SME) to join our team in Honolulu, HI, supporting the PACAF Special Security Office at Headquarters PACAF, JBPHH.

In this position, you will help protect classified information, personnel, facilities, and critical resources from criminal, terrorist, and hostile intelligence threats. You will support the development and implementation of physical security policies, evaluate and design protective systems, and ensure that sensitive materials remain secure from compromise, sabotage, or misuse. Your expertise will guide the assessment of proposed SCIF locations, the development and review of Construction Security Plans (CSPs) and Modification Security Plans (MSPs), and the evaluation of Fixed Facility Checklists (FFCs) and TEMPEST documentation across PACAF’s theater-wide SCIF portfolio. You will also review equipment entry requests, support annual Program Compliance Reviews, and deliver physical security training to PACAF subordinate units. This role requires a strong understanding of DoD and Air Force security standards and offers a meaningful opportunity to support the mission of PACAF Headquarters.
