At AusNet, we’re the link between renewable energy sources and local communities, playing a key role in the clean energy transition and providing essential energy to every Victorian family.

Purposeful work with genuinely good people. That’s refreshing.
We have an opportunity for a Security Advisor to play a key role in safeguarding AusNet’s critical infrastructure while driving compliance and strengthening our security posture. In this role, you’ll work closely with project managers, participating in design meetings to ensure security-by-design principles are integrated across projects. You’ll collaborate with contractors to review and explore new technologies, define security scopes for projects, and actively contribute to the development of security solutions. Conducting site visits to assess and ensure compliance will be an integral part of the role, as you help shape the future of AusNet’s physical security environment while supporting the delivery of critical infrastructure for Victoria’s energy network.
 
This role offers flexible hybrid working, based in Flinders Street, Melbourne, as part of the Protective Security Team.

This role will deliver real outcomes, including but not limited to:
•    Providing risk-based security advice to mitigate emerging threats to AusNet’s critical assets.
•    Developing and maintaining security policies, standards, and compliance processes.
•    Leading projects incorporating security-by-design principles (CPTED) across new and existing infrastructure.
•    Managing security contractors to ensure cost-effectiveness and performance.
•    Monitoring regulatory compliance and supporting audits to ensure adherence to legislation.
•    Supporting security incident investigations and driving continuous improvements.
•    Promoting security awareness and fostering a proactive security culture across AusNet.
 
You don’t need to check every box; however, we are looking for a good combination of:
•    Relevant university degree and/ or 3+ years’ experience in corporate security, ideally within critical infrastructure.
•    Strong knowledge of risk management approaches to security (HB167:2006) and Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
•    Experience developing and implementing security plans, policies, and conducting risk assessments.
•    Proven ability to manage contractors, advocate for security measures, and deliver projects.
•    Exceptional stakeholder engagement, communication, and time management skills.
•    A valid Victorian driver’s licence and ability to travel within Victoria as required.

We celebrate unique voices, refreshing perspectives and diversity in our team. Engage and connect through our social club, family day, wide range of events or by joining one of our Employee Network Groups.  

We believe in more than just competitive pay. Here’s what sets us apart:
•    Flexibility: whether this is hybrid work, flexible hours, or part time arrangements, we’ll work with you to help balance work and life.
•    Leave: more than typical personal leave and a generous 14 weeks of paid parental leave, with no minimum service.
•    Community giving: a paid day to volunteer with our social impact partner, Foodbank, or for a cause that matters to you.
•    Perks: we offer all the other perks you’ve come to expect like purchased leave, income protection insurance, novated leasing, corporate discounts, private health cover discounts and more.
