Employees have access to competitive wages, employer-matched retirement savings plans, medical and dental insurance, and paid time off, which altogether create a supportive and rewarding work atmosphere.

The role of Surveillance Security Officer at GardaWorld is a vital position within the security operations centers. As a surveillance guard, you will be positioned to spot potential threats early and intervene before incidents escalate. Your primary responsibility involves monitoring security systems using multiple screens and technology to capture every detail and identify suspicious activity effectively. You will work a set full-time schedule during the second shift, specifically from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, ensuring consistent coverage during these critical hours.

In this role, you will conduct detailed observations and document events accurately through comprehensive reporting. You are expected to respond swiftly to any incidents, conduct regular patrols of the premises, and control access by verifying visitor identities, securing sensitive areas from unauthorized entry. Collaboration with law enforcement and other departments in managing emergencies and serious situations is an essential part of your duties. The job requires strong observational skills, excellent focus, technological proficiency, and good eyesight. GardaWorld values candidates who have experience in security, military, or law enforcement backgrounds, but also welcomes those who are eager to grow within the security industry.

Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S., possess a high school diploma or GED, and pass an extensive screening process. GardaWorld assists in obtaining the necessary Iowa State Security license required for this role. Age requirements stipulate that applicants must be at least 18 years old. The company offers a clear pathway for career advancement with ongoing training and development programs, nurturing employees from frontline workers into corporate leadership roles.
