Embassy & State Dept Support firms staff roles on State Department and diplomatic-post contracts. These include facilities and maintenance, security support, and administrative and technical work.

How it differs from DoD work

Requirements are driven by the post and the contract. Vetting often differs from DoD work, and host-country rules can affect who can be hired and where. Do not assume DoD timelines apply.

What to check

  • The vetting path the contract requires.
  • Whether host-country nationals, third-country nationals or US citizens may fill the role.
  • Housing, travel and medical arrangements at the post.

Firms are tagged here when their own materials name State Department or embassy work.

Pair this page with the region view for the post's location. For security roles, read the embassy security jobs guide.
