Why Shield?

We partner directly with Defence, Federal and State Government programs — you’ll never be a number here.

We work hard to make sure you’re paid top rates for the work you deliver — not the "lowest common denominator."

We don’t just place you and disappear — we stay in touch with aftercare, regular check-ins, and help you plan your next career move when you're ready.

We offer roles with long-term extensions (12 + 12 + 12 months) so you’re not bouncing around every few months.

What we’re looking for:

You’re an Australian Citizen (for security clearance requirements)

You either have a Baseline, NV1, NV2 or TSPV clearance.

You’ve got solid hands-on experience in complex ICT environments

You want a recruiter who actually listens and works for YOU, not just the client

If that sounds like what you’re after, hit apply — or better yet, send me a message and let’s have a proper chat.

At Shield, we build careers and we are serious about helping the people build their careers! best email is [email protected]
