Security Officer

Visa sponsorship

Trade · Gold Coast, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored

This is security work where discretion matters as much as presence. A high-security site on the Gold Coast needs dependable Security Officers to control who comes in, patrol the grounds and deal with alarms, incidents and emergencies as they happen.

You would talk with authorised staff, contractors and visitors in a calm, approachable way, follow strict site protocols, and keep accurate logs and reports while treating sensitive information as confidential. Good judgement and knowing when to escalate a concern are central. If you are eligible and can satisfy the necessary employment, visa and security checks, sponsorship opportunities may be available.

Make your CV show your QLD Security Licence, the types of premises you have protected and incidents you handled well. Write a high-security site officer CV with Build AI CV before you apply.
