Daily counts of this employer’s active Colorado cleared listings in our index. Posting changes describe what we observed; they do not measure hires, layoffs, or company headcount.
90 of 90 days have a supported count. Gaps represent unavailable observations.
Last 30 completed days: 26 newly observed listings, 9 returned listings, and 41 removals. Net recorded posting movement: -6.
The preceding 30 days had 38 newly observed listings, 11 returns, and 51 removals.
Across the last 60 completed days, the daily active count moved from 22 on Sep 6, 2026 to 14 on Nov 4, 2026.
Dates use UTC. Newly observed means first discovered by Cleared Colorado and still active at daily capture. Returned means a previously removed listing reappeared. Removal means a recorded source-backed removal; it does not establish that a position was filled. The live count above can differ from the most recent completed-day count. Changes can reflect our source coverage and discovery as well as employer posting activity.

Aurora appears on current WIDS requisitions, but those postings explicitly depend on contract award and funding; they do not independently establish an operating office. Base locations are customer workplaces, not Amentum-owned offices.
This researched profile remains available when openings close. Public sources may omit customer sites or undisclosed facilities. Addresses appear only where the employer publishes them.
