What are the responsibilities and job description for the Unarmed Security Guard – Second Shift I Evening Shifts (Providence Area) position at SecurityRI?
SecurityRI is hiring part-time and full-time Unarmed Security Officers for second/evening shift coverage across Providence and surrounding areas. Active posts include high-rise residential buildings, low-income housing communities, and corporate properties. This position is suited for a disciplined, alert individual who takes pride in accountability, professional communication, and consistent execution across every shift.
Shifts Available:
- 5:00 PM 1:00 AM
- 6:00 PM 2:00 AM
- 9:00 PM 1:00 AM
Full-time and part-time openings available. Shift assignment based on post need and candidate availability.
Position Overview:
Officers assigned to these posts are responsible for maintaining a visible, professional presence throughout the full shift while actively monitoring their assigned property. This is a technology-forward environment - all reporting, clock-in procedures, and patrol verification are completed through company-provided mobile applications. Officers must be comfortable operating a smartphone and navigating basic mobile platforms. Every shift begins and ends with a digital clock-in through our attendance system, and all patrols are validated through TourQR checkpoint scans at designated locations throughout the property. There are no exceptions to these procedures.
Key Responsibilities:
- Complete all assigned Tour QR checkpoint scans throughout each shift to verify patrol coverage
- Clock in and out at the start and end of every shift using our mobile attendance platform; no exceptions
- Submit detailed, accurate incident reports through our digital reporting application
Document all observations, security concerns, access activity, and out-of-routine events immediately and in writing
- Monitor building access points, lobbies, elevators, and common areas throughout the shift
- Deescalate situations using sound judgment and clear verbal communication
Conduct thorough shift handoffs with incoming officers, communicating all relevant activity from the shift
- Escalate suspicious activity, unauthorized access, or emergencies to supervision immediately
- Maintain a professional appearance and conduct at all times on post
What We Are Looking For:
Strong written and verbal communication is a core requirement for this position, not a preference. Officers must be capable of writing clear, detailed, and accurate incident reports that document times, observations, individuals involved, and actions taken. Vague or incomplete reporting is not acceptable and is treated as a performance issue. Candidates must also demonstrate sound judgment in evening environments, the ability to remain alert across a full shift, and a willingness to consistently follow post orders and company procedures without deviation. Prior experience in residential, hospitality, or commercial security is preferred but not required.
Technology Requirements:
All officers must own or have consistent access to a smartphone capable of running our patrol and reporting applications. Prior to the first shift, SecurityRI provides a full walkthrough of the Tour QR patrol system, digital clock-in platform, and incident reporting application. No advanced technical experience is required, but the ability and willingness to learn and consistently use these tools is mandatory.
