UG Solutions is a fast-moving, mission-driven private security company with global reach and a strong operational backbone. Headquartered in the greater Charlotte area, we operate in high-stakes environments and support government, humanitarian, and commercial clients.
This position supports UG's forward-leaning readiness model and is posted in preparation of anticipated contract requirements. We recruit ahead of demand so when the mission calls, the right people are already identified, vetted, and ready to deploy. Applications will be kept on file, and qualified candidates will be contacted as needs arise.
Position Summary:
We are seeking a skilled and mission-focused Interpreter to support defense operations and communications across multinational and multilingual environments. The ideal candidate will provide accurate and culturally appropriate interpretation and translation services in support of military, intelligence, and security missions. This role demands discretion, professionalism, and the ability to operate in high-stakes and often sensitive environments.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Provide real-time verbal interpretation between English and target language(s) in operational, training, and briefing settings.
  • Translate written documents, technical materials, and classified information as required.
  • Support human intelligence (HUMINT), civil affairs, and liaison operations by bridging language and cultural gaps.
  • Assist with interpretation during interviews, interrogations, meetings, and operational briefings.
  • Ensure all translations retain the original meaning and context, with an emphasis on accuracy and nuance.
  • Maintain confidentiality and handle all materials in compliance with security protocols and classification guidelines.
  • Collaborate with military personnel, intelligence professionals, and other contractors to support mission objectives.
  • Adapt to changing mission needs and rapidly evolving operational environments.

Required Qualifications:
  • Fluency in English and at least one target language (e.g., Arabic, Pashto, Dari, Farsi, Russian, Mandarin, etc.).
  • Proven interpretation/translation experience in a military, government, or defense contractor setting.
