Construction Security Observer (CSO) – Melbourne CBD and Sydney CBD

WAIDT Services Security (WSS)

Be part of protecting Australia's sensitive construction projects.

Some construction sites build buildings. These sites build the places where national security decisions get made — and they need people who understand what's actually at stake behind the hoarding and scaffolding.

As a Construction Security Observer with WAIDT Services Security, you won't be standing at a boom gate checking passes. You'll be the trained eye that ensures a Construction Security Plan is actually being lived up to, day in and day out — spotting what shouldn't be there, verifying what should, and giving government and industry clients genuine confidence that their most sensitive builds stay secure from the ground up.

If you've worked in security, intelligence, Defence, or the public service, you already understand the mindset this role demands: vigilance, discretion, and taking the job seriously even when nothing looks like it's happening. That's exactly the kind of person we're looking for in Melbourne and Sydney - long-term, meaningful work, on projects that matter.

WAIDT Services Security (WSS) is a specialist provider of Construction Security Observers (CSOs), delivering security oversight for high-security building and infrastructure projects across Australia. Our trained and security-cleared personnel support government and industry clients in ensuring compliance with Construction Security Plans (CSP) during the construction of sensitive facilities.

- Previous experience not essential but security or intelligence background is highly regarded.

- High standard of personal presentation.
- Adhere to all relevant security protocols and procedures.
- Veterans, Defence and Public servants are encouraged to apply
