This employment opportunity is for a full-time Security Officer position, offering a competitive pay rate of $20.00 per hour and requiring 40 hours per week, with the work location being in person at the assigned client site.

This role includes monitoring site activities, controlling access, conducting patrols, and responding to emergencies in a timely and professional manner.
The Security Officer is responsible for observing and reporting any activities or incidents, ensuring that safety measures are observed, and working closely with both client personnel and visitors to foster a secure environment. The individual in this role must be diligent in inspecting fire control equipment, security devices, and the general premises to identify any irregularities or risks promptly. Additionally, the Security Officer enforces site-specific regulations and guidelines related to personnel movement, visitor admittance, and overall premises safety.

Compliance with licensing requirements and the ability to maintain certifications in Basic Life Support (CPR/AED and First Aid) are mandatory.
Overall, this role is essential in delivering excellent security service, fostering trust among clients, and ensuring the smooth operation and safety of the client’s site.
