What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fire & Life Safety Director position at AS Hospitality Services Inc.?
AS Hospitality Services is seeking experienced and certified Fire & Life Safety Directors (FLSDs) to join our team in high-profile luxury hotel environments across New York City.
This is not a standard FLSD position.
Our professionals operate at the intersection of FDNY compliance, security operations, and elevated guest experience—serving as both safety leaders and front-facing representatives of the property.
We are looking for individuals who bring command presence, professionalism, and hospitality awareness to every interaction.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work in luxury, high-visibility hotel properties

Hospitality-Driven Security Operations
- Maintain a visible, professional, and guest-focused presence throughout the property
- Conduct patrols across public areas, back-of-house, and perimeter zones
- Monitor CCTV systems and manage access control points
- Interact with guests and staff in a polished, service-oriented manner
- Support hotel operations with loss prevention, crowd management, and incident response
- De-escalate situations with composure, discretion, and professionalism
Qualifications
Required
- Valid FDNY FLSD Certificate of Fitness (F-89, T-89, or Z-89)

Preferred
- Experience in luxury hotels or high-end commercial properties

Compensation & Benefits
- Starting at $25.00/hour (based on experience and certifications)
- Full-Time & Part-Time positions available
- Consistent placements across NYC luxury hotel properties
- 401(k) plan (eligibility based on service requirements)
- Short-Term Disability (per NYS guidelines)
- Health benefits (eligibility may apply)
- Ongoing operational support from an experienced Fire & Life Safety leadership team
Career Growth & Advancement
