Security Systems Advisor - FTC

Perth Airport is Australia’s Western Hub connecting the people, businesses and communities of Western Australia with the rest of Australia and the world. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year, Perth Airport plays a significant role in providing economic, social and cultural benefits to West Australians.

Perth Airport is investing more than $5 billion in new infrastructure so we can support our airline partners to grow, offering more services to new destinations and an improved customer experience. This will be the largest funded private equity build in Western Australia for the last 30 years.

Over the coming decade we will expand T1 International, and build new domestic terminal facilities, a parallel runway, two multi-storey carparks and our first airport hotel. This will deliver one airport for the people of Western Australia which will host all flight services in a central location giving passengers a seamless, world-class travel experience.

The Perth Airport estate is spread over 2100 hectares and has developed a $1.5 billion portfolio of existing industrial premises and significant vacant land holdings.

We service a truly diverse community and play an important role in strengthening cultural, family and social bonds while supporting business, tourism and leisure travel.

We are on the lookout for a Security Systems Advisor to help keep Perth Airport safe, compliant and future ready. This role plays a hands on part in managing security risks, strengthening security culture, and making sure our systems, processes and technology meet national and state requirements.

What you'll do:

• Provide clear and practical security advice to internal teams and project stakeholders to support safe and compliant outcomes.
• Monitor security performance, track actions, and ensure agreed commitments are delivered on time.
• Carry out inspections and reviews to confirm compliance with aviation security legislation and airport standards.
• Support and promote a strong security culture through training, communication and awareness activities.
• Contribute intelligence and risk information into Perth Airport’s security management processes to support informed decision making.
• Support the delivery and ongoing improvement of the Security Management System, which sets how security risks are identified and managed.
• Provide security input into technology and infrastructure projects, including access control systems and camera surveillance.
• Participate in incident response activities, emergency exercises, and rostered on call arrangements when required.

About you:

• Experience working with security technology or infrastructure such as access control or CCTV, with the ability to explain requirements in plain language.
• Understanding of risk management principles and how to apply them in a practical, real world environment.
• Strong written skills, with experience preparing clear security documents, procedures or guidance material.
• Confidence in building relationships and working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders.
• A proactive approach to promoting positive security behaviours and raising awareness across an organisation.
• Ability to make sound decisions, manage competing priorities, and follow through on agreed actions.
• Curious and adaptable, with a willingness to learn, improve processes, and respond to emerging risks and trends.
• Experience in an aviation, transport or complex operational environment is valued, but transferable security experience is also welcomed.
