Mō te tūnga | About the role
You will contribute to the security and protective service of NZDF staff and visitors to Burnham Military camp. You will maintain physical security and safety and assist with emergency and evacuation procedures.
We operate a rotating four on/four off roster, which includes day and night shifts.

You will:

  • Undergo ongoing training to improve and update standards and professionalism.
  • Recognise, report on and take appropriate action on incidents, risks, breaches and suspicious behaviour.
  • Be appropriately assertive and directive, deescalate situations.
  • Use your relationship management and communication skills to deal with staff, visitors and others in a helpful and positive way.


We really cannot talk enough about how incredible our security guards are; or say enough about the valuable contribution they make as part of a wider security team protecting New Zealand's interests.

Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and Experience
Ideally, you will have prior experience in operational security and be familiar with shift work. If you are a motivated individual, open to learning new things and would like to kick start a career in security, this is a great opportunity

You will also need:

  • Excellent customer service and interpersonal skills.
  • A good degree of physical fitness.
  • Confidence using computers and familiarity with the Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Ability to deescalate situations and deal with a variety of people.
  • Previous experience in CCTV, control room monitoring and use of security related databases and equipment is advantageous (desired but not essential).
