About the role
MSS Security's Scholarship Program offers an exceptional pathway for individuals seeking a fresh start – whether you're transitioning from the Defence Force, re‐entering the workforce, leaving school or changing careers. We also embrace and value diversity at MSS Security and encourage females and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to work with our team at our prestigious Defence client sites.
