What You Need to Know
Offering long-term career development and growth opportunities to Sandians is an important part of our employment value proposition.
Whether you are looking to expand your current skills and experience, considering a lateral move, or thinking about a different job within our organization, you can take advantage of Sandia’s resources and tools to help plan for your next step.
Finding Your Next Role
Sandia posts open positions available to current Sandia employees through the careers portal on INSIDE.
Current Sandia employees, including regular, limited term, student, and post-doc employees can apply through this site.
You can set up email alerts to notify you when there’s a new posting for a job aligned with your skills, interests, and development path.
Job postings for external, non-Sandian candidates are posted through Sandia’s external careers portal.
While not required, we encourage you to let your manager know if you are selected for an interview.
The interview process varies across organizations and position types, and interviews can range from one to two hours, while others last an entire day or two.
When you can change jobs
Sandia is all about thinking about the next big thing. In most cases, we would like Sandians to remain in one role for at least one year before applying for a new position. For more information, please review Applying for Jobs.
Movement Outside of Post and Bid – Info for Managers
At times, Sandia’s business needs may require moving employees to a different department or job. Movement may also occur for rotational job assignments and for acting management assignments.
Managers should consult with their immediate management to determine expectations, risk and strategy of both the position and proposed employee. Contact HR Solutions to determine the best path forward to facilitate your needs. Additional details may be found on the following:

Offsite Assignments
In certain circumstances, agencies (for example, the Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, or Department of Defense) will contact Sandia when there’s need for a technical expertise. Sandia is able to respond to these requests for help through the offsite assignment process.
In most cases, offsite assignments are 30 days up to a maximum of 3 years. You may be located with your customer.
If you are interested in taking an offsite assignment, go to the offsite extended duty assignment collaboration site to see current assignment openings and assignment types. Relocation support may also be available (look below for more information).
When on assignment, you and your manager are responsible for keeping your Human Resources Business Partner updated on the status of your assignment.
Relocations
If you are relocated to another Sandia site, you may be eligible for a relocation financial allowance for related expenses. Also, Sandia works with a range of providers to assist with relocation logistics.
Sandia partners with TRC Global Mobility (TRC), to assist employees with relocation.
