Btw, these jobs are very few and far in between.
It's like in any other flying job, you call a former Co-Worker/Unit Member, he/she will put out feelers and keep an eye out when a position's open.
Nothing special, .Mil type Op, only the names, uniforms and the color/type of the aircraft change, (same 'Ol BS different shop and much larger Travel Vouchers).
Just saying

There are a few others but as I have seen, it is mostly on a who you know recommendation basis.
FWIW

And if you're lucky enough to become a Pipefitter you're now and forever known as a Window Washer.
Although they do take a lot of great Pipefitters out of the Industry you are given authority to use the secret bottle of Windex.
This info is right in their open source recruiting FAQs and recruiting packet.
Btw, There's nothing like "Laying Pipe for the Company."

Most refer to it as the "agency," rather than "the company." Unless they've been watching too many movies. Most flying is contracted out.

Start with the CIA website. If you have a TS/SCI clearance you probably know someone who can point you towards a recruiter, but it's unlikely that you're going to get a contact here.
These jobs are out there; keep in mind that it is a job, and that everything you've seen in the movies is complete BS. Good luck.

Potato, Potahto depends which Alphabet Company you're working for.
Btw, When was your last TS/SCI update?
If it's the Agency I'm working for, we call it "the Agency." It it's somebody else we call it by different terms of endearment depending on how much we like them that year.
Hey Jungle,
You have my respect, hats off to ya. I came in way after you're generation but was schooled by the old school generation. It's sad that I now watch your type starting to fade off and enjoy retirement.
But I really enjoyed doing some of that "different" type of stuff.
