Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Government Department of Defence Full time

About the Role

The Australian Government Department of Defence is seeking a highly skilled Technical Surveillance Countermeasures Officer to conduct technical security inspections, provide technical security advice, and work collaboratively with a multi-disciplinary team across Australia and internationally.

As a TSCM Officer, you will regularly use a wide range of electronic equipment and machinery, employing physical searching techniques and your technical knowledge to ensure Defence locations are protected from listening and recording devices. You may also need to analyse potential methods that adversaries may use to compromise a Defence facility, to reverse engineer the appropriate protective security measures.

You will provide security advice around existing technical threats and use risk-based principles and expert knowledge of device capabilities to protect Defence and its assets and information. This role is eligible for an additional remuneration benefit known as the Building Defence Capability Payment (BDCP), which provides a premium in addition to the base salary otherwise payable under the Defence Enterprise Agreement (DEA).

About our Team

The TSCM team sits within the Defence Security Division in the Security and Estate Group. It is a high-tempo team conducting technical security inspections at Defence locations across Australia and internationally.

TSCM's technical security inspections identify the presence and location of eavesdropping devices, highlight technical threat vulnerabilities, and provide assurance that a particular area is not subject to covert technical surveillance operations. They are also the touchpoint for all of Defence's technical security capabilities.

Your Skills and Qualifications

  • You possess a strong analytical and problem-solving background enabling you to proficiently use a suite of electronic equipment and employ searching techniques.
  • You have excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively interpret and convey security policy information and technical security advice to diverse audiences.
  • You require extensive collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.
  • You lead small teams for domestic and international security operations and are accountable for team logistics and reporting.

What We Offer

This role attracts a competitive salary estimated to be around $90,000 - $120,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications. The position also offers a range of benefits, including opportunities for professional development and career advancement within the department. Additionally, this role is eligible for the Building Defence Capability Payment (BDCP), providing a premium in addition to the base salary.
