Notice job server performed discreetly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

observe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'notice' is the definition.
(I know that notice can be written as observe)

'job server performed discreetly' is the wordplay.
'OBSERVE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for observe that I've seen before include "Witness, watch" , "Espy" , "Watch without intervening" , "Mark" , "Notice or conform to, rules say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
