Defense Staffing

Cleared and uncleared personnel for defense primes, shipyards, and their suppliers.

Defense programs run on people who can pass the gate and hit the ground running. Chipton-Ross recruits for missile, munitions, shipbuilding, ground vehicle, and space defense work, including roles that require an active clearance. We know how long crossovers take and staff around them rather than promising what a schedule cannot bear.

What we staff

  • Cleared systems and software engineers
  • Shipboard and marine electricians
  • Welders and pipefitters
  • Logistics and configuration analysts
  • Test engineers and technicians
  • Security and compliance specialists
