Be considered for future project-based work aligned with your skills and experience.

Leidos Australia delivers mission-critical technology, services and capabilities for government, Defence and national security customers. Our work helps protect and advance the Australian way of life.

Backed by a global organisation of more than 40,000 people, our Australian team of around 2,000 has supported customers for more than 30 years. We deliver trusted solutions in environments where reliability, security and purpose matter.

Our Talent Network gives contractors and professionals across a broad range of job families a simple way to remain visible for future project-based opportunities across Leidos Australia.

By sharing your skills, experience, location, availability and career interests, along with any relevant clearances or certifications, you can be considered for suitable opportunities without needing to reconnect or apply each time a new requirement emerges.

Why join the Talent Network?

Stay connected to future opportunities: Be considered for emerging projects, surge requirements, bids, programmes and specialist engagements across Leidos Australia.

Contribute to mission-critical work: Support Australia’s national interests, strengthen essential services and deliver practical outcomes for government customers and the community.

Explore varied work: Opportunities may arise across our business in job families including:

• Technology, digital, artificial intelligence, cyber, data and infrastructure
• Engineering, systems integration and technical services
• Intelligence, security, mission and operational support
• Programme, project, commercial and business operations
• Other professional, specialist and emerging capabilities

Is the Talent Network right for you?

This network may suit professionals who:

• Are interested in contract or project-based work
• Bring relevant professional, technical, operational, corporate or specialist experience
• May hold relevant qualifications, certifications or an Australian Government security clearance, where required for an opportunity
• Have experience working in government, Defence, national security, technology, complex enterprise or other relevant environments
• Want to be considered as suitable requirements emerge

What happens next?

The Talent Network is an evergreen community, not an application for a specific vacancy.

After you submit your profile, our Talent Acquisition team may assess your experience, skills, location, availability and any role-specific requirements against current and future opportunities. If your profile aligns with an active or emerging requirement, a member of the team may contact you to discuss it.

Joining does not guarantee placement or contact for every role, but it gives us a clearer view of your capability when a suitable opportunity arises. Also, registering for the Talent Network does not exclude you from permanent opportunities, and you can still apply for advertised permanent roles at any time.

Due to the nature of our work, applicants must be Australian citizens and eligible to obtain and maintain the security clearance required for the relevant opportunity. Some roles may also be subject to export-control requirements, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). These requirements may affect eligibility or require additional authorisation depending on an individual’s citizenship or nationality.
