Importantly, this key role will be conducting inspections, overseeing aircraft protection measures, supporting screening activities, and responding to security incidents and alarms in accordance with regulatory requirements.

You will be required to contribute to threat assessments, monitor regional and station specific intelligence, communicate security implications to the relevant teams, and assist in security training initiatives to strengthen organisational capability.

With every duty you perform, you will uphold safety, compliance, and vigilance, ensuring our passengers, people, and assets remain protected at all times.

Join us and become the safeguard that strengthens every take‑off.
