You will deliver end-to-end aviation security assessments, from logistics and planning through to delivery, reporting and debrief. Working with project delivery managers and in-country coordinators, you will assess airport vulnerabilities, provide clear findings and mitigation recommendations, brief international partners and support continuous improvement.

Responsible for the delivery of technical assessment and assurance activities across ASIO’s priority countries,
Delivery of in-country airport end-to-end assessment and assurance activities,
Responsible for the delivery of stakeholder briefings to international partners
