Full Job Description

About the Company

As one of Australia’s leading security companies, MSS Security is built on teamwork, respect, and integrity. We provide long-term career paths, stability, and a workplace where your professionalism and dedication are genuinely valued. To find out more visit our website at www.msssecurity.com.au.

Looking for a career change – start your Security career with MSS Security
Fully funded Scholarships – Cert II in Security Operations and Security Licence
Defence sites – Australian Citizenship required

About the role

MSS Security’s Scholarship Program offers an exceptional pathway for individuals seeking a fresh start – whether you’re transitioning from the Defence Force, re‑entering the workforce, leaving school or changing careers. We also embrace and value diversity at MSS Security and encourage females and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to work with our team at our prestigious Defence client sites.

We fully fund your Certificate II in Security Operations and cover the first year of your Security Licence. In return, you’ll commit to 12 months of service with us.

In this role, you’ll play a vital part in safeguarding Defence personnel, assets, and infrastructure through proactive patrols, effective access control, and a consistent on‑site security presence.

We’re seeking individuals who remain calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and recognise the importance of consistency in secure environments. This is not a typical security role—working within a Defence setting requires a higher level of professionalism, discretion, and operational discipline, where your actions directly support national operations.

Duties include but are not limited to:

Access Control – Monitoring entry and exit points to ensure only authorised personnel are permitted on site.
Foot Patrols – Conducting regular patrols to maintain situational awareness and deter potential threats.
Stakeholder Liaison – Building rapport with Defence personnel, contractors, and visitors while delivering a strong security presence.
Incident Response – Reacting promptly and appropriately to alarms, emergencies, or suspicious behaviour.
Compliance Monitoring – Ensuring site protocols and Defence security procedures are always followed.
Reporting & Documentation – Accurately recording incidents, shift activities and observations in accordance with site requirements.

Skills & experience

The following skills, experience, qualifications and aptitude will be well regarded:

Australian Citizenship - required for Defence security clearance eligibility
24/7 Availability in a Full Time capacity
A current Drivers License in ACT
A current Security License valid in ACT
Baseline Defence Clearance or must be willing to obtain a Baseline Clearance
Excellent communication skills and the ability to interact confidently with Defence personnel and site stakeholders
The ability to remain calm under pressure and make sound decisions
A strong sense of integrity, accountability, and attention to detail

ACT Master Licence: 17501687

How to apply

MSS Security is an Equal Opportunity Employer, valuing the unique backgrounds, experiences, and contributions of each person We encourage and celebrate diversity.

We are proud to:

be certified by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency,
be a partner and supporter of Veterans employment and honoured to have an endorsed INNOVATE Reconciliation Action Plan.

Click APPLY to complete your application and you will be prompted to answer a few simple questions and upload your CV.

Thanks for taking the time to consider MSS as a future employer and we look forward to hearing from you.
