• Work with purpose delivering critical defence projects and programs for Australia
• Investment in you – L&D, experienced mentors, and accessible leadership

At DPS, you’ll find purpose, impact and huge opportunity. Join us and help make it happen.

A real endeavour, achieved with you

As Australia’s multi-disciplinary advisory and business partner of choice for clients in defence, government and infrastructure, we deliver complex things that matter. It's not always an easy task, but anything worthwhile seldom is. Great things are rarely accomplished alone. We’re building something remarkable. Now we just need you. 

A real endeavour, shaped by you

As a Security Certification Specialist with our Defence engagement, you will undertake and manage ICT security tasking for the nominated projects(s) and BAU activities. 

To succeed in this endeavour, you will:

• Support the ICT Security Lead to plan, develop, and manage ICT security activities within the TC capability
• Provide ICT security guidance to TC project team including third party service providers to inform system design activities and ensure ICT security is considered through all system lifecycle stages.
• Review and provide security assessment (including impact of security accreditation status) of Engineering Change Proposals related to TC sustained systems.  
• Establish security accreditation status of extant systems under TC sustainment control and identify security remediation activities. 
• Assist development of processes to monitor and maintain security accreditation status through the sustainment phase of TC managed systems.
• Liaise with ICTSB and other security organisations, to enable the certification activities to be performed in an efficient and effective manner

A real endeavour, driven by you

Our work is highly complex and confidential, so there are some things you must have to fulfil this role:

• Current NV2 security clearance
• Relevant qualifications or professional development within the ICT Security discipline.
• Previous experience in a similar Security Accreditation role, ideally within the defence environment.
• Strong communication skills, and you’ll also be an analytical thinker who loves solving complex problems.

More than anything, you’ll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and a drive to manage critical projects and programs that build sovereign capability and deliver complex things that matter.
