What are the responsibilities and job description for the Unarmed Security Guard position at ALK Global Security Solutions?
Got it—my mistake! Here is the updated posting focused on a single, unified venue space while keeping it intentionally vague and centered on high-standard guest service and active patrol.
Job Overview: Event & Venue Safety Officer
We are seeking a proactive, customer-service-driven Safety Officer to provide a visible, reassuring presence for a high-traffic venue. In this role, you will serve as an ambassador of safety and hospitality—fostering a welcoming environment for guests and staff while respectfully maintaining venue standards, access control, and overall security across the facility.
This is an active, highly mobile role designed for individuals who thrive on movement, guest interaction, and proactive observation throughout their shift.
Core Responsibilities1. Facility Presence & Active Patrols
- Maintain an active, reassuring presence across all levels, main corridors, common areas, and guest spaces.
- Conduct regular, attentive checks of stairwells, service areas, and side corridors to ensure clean, clear, and safe pathways.
- Perform routine exterior sweeps of parking zones, walkways, and outer grounds (every 20–30 minutes) to maintain a secure, orderly perimeter.
- Ensure designated access points, entryways, and exits remain secure and clear of unauthorized activity.
2. Guest Services & De-Escalation
- Greet visitors, staff, and guests with a polite, professional, and approachable demeanor.
- Handle sensitive situations with empathy and high-level de-escalation skills, respectfully addressing policy violations and guiding unauthorized individuals off the property.
- Serve as a professional liaison for emergency response teams (Police, Fire, EMS), offering swift assistance and escorting them through the facility as required.
3. Observation & Digital Reporting
- Submit real-time, digital activity updates every 30 minutes via our mobile platform.
- Capture clear, timestamped photos during routine patrols to document maintenance needs, property damage, or physical hazards.
- Factually document facility observations, guest interactions, and notable incidents with complete objectivity and professionalism.
4. Safety & Operational Support
- Promptly flag urgent maintenance issues or safety hazards (such as non-functioning locks, lighting failures, or structural concerns).
- Safely identify and report environmental hazards or biohazards following proper facility protocols (without directly handling hazardous material).
- Maintain seamless shift transitions by providing a comprehensive verbal briefing and key handoff to oncoming personnel.
