We are a dynamic, dedicated team that provides management and support for a global guarding services account that spans across 30+ countries. Our client is an industry-leading datacenter organization, and we pride ourselves in delivering best-in-class solutions through our teams made up of Security Operations, Shared Services, Threat and Incident Management, Environmental Health and Safety, and Human Resources. As part of this team, you’ll work alongside a group of professionals that are committed to excellence and innovation.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Site Security Manager to lead a team of security professionals at a major datacenter site. You’ll manage day-to-day security operations, ensuring a safe and secure environment, while building a high-performing team.

You don’t need a traditional security background to succeed in this role.

We’re looking for candidates with a strong operational background—people who have led teams, managed complex environments, and worked closely with senior stakeholders. Experience driving outcomes, making sound decisions under pressure, and influencing at a senior level is far more important than prior security-specific experience. If you’ve built credibility through leadership, operational excellence, and stakeholder engagement, we want to hear from you.

Salary on Offer: AUD $148,000 - 154,000 base salary.

What You’ll Do

- Recruit, onboard, and develop team members in partnership with the local branch.
- Ensure compliance with security policies, procedures, and audit standards.
- Act as a responder or control room supervisor when needed.
- Monitor and maintain on-site security systems (CCTV, access control, etc.).
- Track performance metrics and ensure KPIs are met or exceeded.
- Handle documentation, incident reports, and client communications.
- Support audits, inspections, and safety reviews.
- Act as the point of contact for the site in the CSM’s absence.




- Identify and address potential safety or security issues.

Who We’re Looking For

- Minimum of 3 years Security Management experience, overseeing large teams across multiple sites.
- Must be able to speak English at a business proficient level.
- Sound knowledge of security operations.
- Proven team management experience.
- Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
- Experience working in a datacenter or with security technologies (CCTV, access control) is desirable
- Customer service mindset with the ability to stay calm under pressure.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, 24/7 operational environment.

Job Requirements

- Must hold valid baseline or Nv1 clearance.

What you’ll get

- Join a high-performing, team-oriented team where your contributions truly matter.
- Experience the energy of a fast-paced, dynamic, and high-growth environment while supporting a prestigious multinational client account.
- You’ll gain exposure to a global team and international business operations, with opportunities to travel locally and abroad.
- Be part of an organization committed to employee development, offering ongoing learning, training, and growth opportunities.
- Be rewarded with a highly competitive and industry leading salary package.

The extra stuff

- Candidates must be at least 18 years of age and possess the legal right to work in hiring country.
