Job Description

Securitas is a global security company dedicated to protecting homes, workplaces, and communities by offering comprehensive security services tailored to safeguard assets, ensure the safety of people, and enable businesses to operate smoothly and profitably. The company has established itself as a trusted leader in the safety and security sector by fostering an environment rooted in integrity, vigilance, and helpfulness, which are the core values that guide every employee. Securitas employs a diverse workforce, bringing together individuals from various backgrounds who contribute their unique skills and perspectives to the mission of providing reliable security solutions.

The Security Officer role at Securitas is an essential position responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for the company's clients. The Security Officer accomplishes this by actively monitoring properties through patrols and access control, ensuring that personnel, visitors, and the premises comply with regulations and directives. This position requires vigilance in identifying potential risks, responding to emergencies with sound judgment, and delivering excellent customer service to clients and their guests. The position is full-time with a wage range of $18.00 to $19.50 per hour, and open interviews are conducted every Wednesday from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Salt Lake City, Utah location.

The role involves routine interactions with client employees and guests, conflict resolution, de-escalation techniques, and comprehensive reporting of any safety concerns or suspicious activity. Security Officers will also utilize technology throughout their shifts, conduct property tours, and complete assigned rounds and tasks as specified for each site. The company offers paid training, free uniforms, and a structured support system to empower Security Officers to perform their duties effectively and independently while maintaining professionalism and vigilance.

Securitas seeks candidates who are 18 years or older, possess a high school diploma or equivalent, and demonstrate above-average computer and technology skills. Previous experience in security, law enforcement, or the military is a plus but not mandatory, as the company welcomes applicants looking to start a career in security. Strong customer service and leadership skills, the ability to stay calm under pressure, a keen attention to detail, and a professional demeanor are necessary attributes for success in this role. All candidates must be willing to pass pre-employment screening, including drug testing and background checks.

The company prioritizes employee well-being by providing an array of benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401K plans; life and disability insurance; paid time off; and other perks like virtual medical appointments through telemedicine. These benefits, combined with paid weekly wages and access to employee assistance programs, create a supportive work environment. Securitas also offers unique discounts on childcare, pet care, vehicles, cell phones, and travel to enhance overall employee satisfaction.

Securitas is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion, inviting all qualified individuals, including veterans and those with disabilities, to apply. By joining Securitas, employees become part of a trusted community dedicated to protecting people and property while upholding the company's foundational values.
