As veterans ourselves, we understand the unique challenges of transitioning into civilian life and are committed to supporting our team through training, upskilling, and long-term career development.

We uphold the values instilled in us during our service—respect, integrity, honesty, and above all, trust—and these principles guide everything we do. When you work with Veterans in Construction, you become part of a team that values commitment, camaraderie, and purpose.

About the Role

We are currently seeking Construction Security Oversight Officers to support the delivery of project security requirements on a major infrastructure project based in Elizabeth, South Australia.

This site-based position involves working closely with our project team and the client to ensure compliance with all construction-related security protocols.

• Monitor site works and report issues or concerns identified.

• Perform security inspections of hold and witness points.

• Attend critical stages of inspection (e.g. wall penetrations, sealing of walls and areas).

• Comply with the Construction Security Plan (CSP), security protocols and policies.

• Document and report any security incidents in a timely manner to the CSO Team Leader

and ensure the reporting obligations are met.

• Verify site access and controls.

• Check and investigate any installation deviations from the Security Specifications.

• Attend stand-up meetings daily for update briefs and taskings.

• Maintain Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in good condition.

• Follow directions of the Construction Manager in the event of a Work Health and Safety

(WHS) incident as well as any internal reporting obligations where necessary; and

• Conduct random item inspections including the screening of construction materials,

equipment, deliveries and personnel.

To Be Successful in This Role, You Will Need:

• Australian citizenship (mandatory)

• A valid National Police Check

• A current Construction Induction White Card

• An active Baseline or NV1 security clearance

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Excellent time management and organisational abilities

• A positive, team-oriented attitude

If you're ready to take the next step in your post-service career and be part of a value-driven team, we encourage you to apply.
