Aviation security
Available
Trident Services Australia
Aviation security/passenger screening at Newcastle Airport. CONFIRMED directly by the company's own social-media post: "we are thrilled to partner with Newcastle Airport Pty Limited to deliver exceptional security screening services," marking a new on-site screening team's first day; also recruits "Aviation Protection Officer - Newcastle Airport" roles (valid security licence, company-funded Transport Security Protection Course, ASIC eligibility). Phone is Trident's head office line (Cannon Hill, QLD), not NTL-specific. The job ad's "24/7 rotating roster" describes staff shift-availability, not a confirmed round-the-clock screening operation at an airport whose own terminal/security hours track the scheduled flight programme rather than running H24, so hours is left unconfirmed rather than stated as 24/7.
