IAG Defence & National Security (DNS) is part of IAG, a specialist advisory firm supporting complex infrastructure, Defence and national security programs across Australia. Our DNS team works closely with Commonwealth agencies and industry partners to deliver specialist expertise into nationally significant programs. Our success depends on our ability to identify, engage and mobilise highly specialised talent quickly and effectively. IAG is recognised as a Veteran Friendly Employer under the Veteran Employment Program.
The Opportunity
We regularly place experienced professionals into short-term Defence contracts — typically 3 to 11 months, often with extension options — across engineering, project management, commercial and logistics disciplines. If you're open to contract-based work and want to be front of mind as these opportunities come up, we'd like to hear from you.
These roles suit people who enjoy the variety of contract work, can mobilise quickly, and are comfortable stepping into an established program rather than a long-term permanent post.

With offices in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra, we're a tight-knit team working across some of Australia's most critical Defence and national security programs. We value expertise, collaboration and flexibility, providing our people with opportunities to contribute to meaningful and technically challenging projects.

Most opportunities advertised by IAG Defence & National Security are subject to client approval, security validation and contractual confirmation. Employment or engagement will only be offered following successful client acceptance and completion of all required pre-engagement checks and onboarding activities.

If you are currently serving or have recently left Defence, we'd recommend confirming your eligibility to apply before submitting.
