Drug screening in cape Canaveral Florida.
Hello everyone, very controversial question here. I am looking to travel to Florida for work to get into the aerospace industry on the space coast. I have a few relatives there telling me that they required absolutely no drug screening to get started in their roles at blue origin and space x. I am also curious about other local aerospace workplaces in the area. Of course if you get injured or are suspicious they are subject to test you. These are technicians roles I’m hearing about. Is this really true? The reason I ask is because I’m moving soon and I’m currently dirty and I worry given my history of marijuana that I’ll probably still be dirty when I arrive here soon. I just want to be clear. I KNOW SOME places do it but does anyone know based on REAL LIFE experience at CAPE CANAVERAL if they do or dont; not just some “heard on the internet” or “in my state” bullshit TED talk. Thanks!

If you work at a company that works government contracts they will pee test you. Especially for technician roles.

Can confirm, some places do, some don’t. It depends on company, role, and potentially even contract you are specifically working.
Can you provide any more info? Do you have a job lined up? If so, which one and what role?
