  • We never hide risk; we surface it early with options.

About restricted roles

Restricted units build and protect our platform. Their roles are advertised by unit number, role family and level only, with no programme, customer or capability detail. Unit numbers are random and carry no meaning.

Before you start there is enhanced screening (identity, right to work, five years of verified history, references), an interview with the unit and a separate security interview. We say "restricted", not "cleared": Ireland has no statutory clearance for private-sector staff.

NATO grade equivalents follow STANAG 2116 and are indicative, to help people who have served read a role. They are not ranks.

Register interest

It takes about five minutes. You need your CV. We do not ask for your nationality, date of birth or a photo.

Can you work in Ireland?

Have you served in the Defence Forces or another military? (optional)

Helps us read your experience against the level and its NATO equivalent. It does not decide your level.

PDF, Word (.docx) or OpenDocument (.odt), up to 5 MB.

A few lines is plenty. Tell us something your CV does not.
