Cargo Screener

Cargo Screener – Northern WA Locations

Step into a high-trust aviation security role where your actions directly protect Australia’s air cargo network.
If you’re seeking a position that offers independence, responsibility, and the chance to represent a major national brand — all while building a meaningful security career — this is your opportunity.

With over 60 years of global expertise in advanced integrated security solutions, Certis stands at the forefront of innovation, operational excellence, and safety.

Your New Role

As a Cargo Screener, you’ll be the final line of defence in the air freight supply chain. Working across multiple Northern WA locations, you will ensure cargo is screened to the highest safety and compliance standards before it enters the aviation network.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working independently, thrives in unique environments, and takes pride in doing work that truly matters. Whether you come with aviation experience or you’re ready to step into a specialised security pathway, we will support you with industry-leading training.

At the end of each shift, you can confidently say:
“I kept Australia’s air cargo moving safely.”

What You’ll Be Doing

• Conducting cargo screening using approved aviation methods (X-ray, ETD, physical checks)
• Ensuring all cargo meets strict government aviation security regulations
• Identifying prohibited or dangerous items with precision and vigilance
• Completing compliance documentation to regulatory standards
• Maintaining secure control of screening equipment and designated areas
• Representing Certis professionally as the on-site security specialist

• A strong security mindset and commitment to aviation compliance
• Excellent attention to detail and sharp problem-solving skills
• The maturity and confidence to work independently
• Great communication skills to work effectively with freight personnel
• Reliability, punctuality, and responsibility — essential for remote operations

Key Requirements

To be successful, you must:

• Hold a valid security licence (mandatory)
• Be able to hold or obtain an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC)
• Have prior aviation screening experience (passenger or cargo) - advantageous but not required
• Be able to work extended roster cycles:
• 14 days on / 7–14 days off, or
• 21 days on / 7 days off
• Commit to 58–74 hours per week, depending on location
• Preferably be based in Northern WA, though Perth-based candidates can also be accommodated
• Be fully reliable and able to attend all rostered shifts - critical in remote operations

What’s In It for You?

• Competitive base flat rate + hourly aviation allowance
• A long-term, stable career path in aviation security
• Industry-leading training, development and upskilling opportunities
• Work autonomously while representing a respected national brand
• Diverse exposure across multiple Northern WA sites — no two days are the same
