Space Force jobs in Colorado: uniformed, civilian, and employer paths
“Space Force job” can mean serving as a uniformed Guardian, working as a federal civilian, or working for another employer at a Space Force installation. Those are different application paths. Cleared Colorado covers only current direct-employer jobs that name a Colorado workplace and an explicit Secret-or-higher requirement.
Reviewed July 13, 2026. Career-path and base references come from official U.S. Space Force sources; job counts update from approved direct-employer listings.
Choose the employment path first
Use the official Space Force careers process for enlisted or officer service. Use the official civilian-careers path for federal civilian employment. Use Cleared Colorado for source-linked jobs posted by employers at Peterson, Schriever, or Buckley Space Force Base; those listings are not enlistment applications and should not be presented as federal Space Force positions unless the source says so.

Additional access
Colorado Space Force bases are distinct workplaces
The Space Force identifies Buckley, Peterson, and Schriever as separate Colorado bases. Cleared Colorado therefore keeps each employer-named base as its own location page instead of folding all three into “Colorado Springs,” “Denver,” or one broad Front Range region.
A posting can name more than one workplace. The combined search uses OR logic across the three bases, while each base page reports only listings that name that installation.
