Job Description

Securitas is a leading global security services provider dedicated to making the world a safer place through comprehensive security solutions. With a commitment to integrity, vigilance, and helpfulness, Securitas protects homes, workplaces, and communities by safeguarding assets, people, and the ability of clients to generate profits. Operating with a clear corporate culture grounded in values that foster trust, attentiveness, and readiness to assist, Securitas employs a diverse workforce that brings a broad range of skills and perspectives to their mission. The company offers a range of employment opportunities, including full and part-time security positions, with competitive wages, benefits, and growth potential, all designed to attract motivated individuals seeking a meaningful career in security.

The Licensed Security Officer role at Securitas involves active monitoring and patrolling of assigned client sites to ensure safety and security. Officers are responsible for observing and reporting incidents while providing excellent customer service and maintaining order. The role requires physical activity such as frequent sitting, standing, walking, and sometimes climbing stairs or navigating uneven terrain. Officers must be prepared to lift and move objects weighing up to 25 pounds occasionally. This position is ideal for candidates with prior experience in security, law enforcement, or military service, though training is available for those new to the field, especially candidates with backgrounds in retail, food service, or hospitality. The company offers specialized armed training classes for those interested in becoming armed officers, with the expectation of attending a 4-day unpaid training and beginning work immediately afterward.

Security Officers must have valid driver licenses, reliable transportation, and be available to work weekends and outdoor events. They are expected to meet all applicable state, county, and municipal licensing requirements, pass background checks, and drug screenings. Securitas emphasizes its inclusive hiring practices and commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, welcoming qualified applicants from all backgrounds. The company provides weekly pay, growth opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision coverage, life insurance, retirement plans, paid holidays, and paid time off. Securitas also supports employees with an employee assistance program and offers a discount program to help improve quality of life. This career offers a chance to be part of a reputable organization known for its integrity and dedication to protecting people and property while delivering excellent service.
