For anyone who has done strategy work for aero & defense clients (e.g., Boeing, Lockheed, etc. Not federal DoD), has your client ever drug tested you?

They drug tested my friend in the beginning. That was just for the initial drug screening.

I do a lot of A&D work, and from what I’ve seen, no. My understanding that we have legal agreement with the clients that our vetting and background checks is sufficient to provide services

like

Yes, exactly. The firm's background checks and employee onboarding are typically stated in the client's contract to be sufficient. If the client desires a more stringent background check and/or drug testing them it becomes a point of negotiation to determine who is in the hook for paying those costs

I’ve been drug tested for electric companies, and just to do office work.

Same for ER&I on the OG side

No - just background checks

like

Can happen if it’s cleared work a mandated by the agency holding the clearance which could apply in this situation, but never heard of it mandated by a company for a consultant without it being part of the contract and then that should be part of interview and onboarding.

Once but only as part of a background check at the beginning
