This position is suited for experienced, professional officers who are comfortable working in secured, credentialed environments and can execute post orders with consistency, accuracy, and sound judgment.
Active assignments involve restricted access points, vessel and vendor credentialing, and documentation-heavy post environments requiring professionalism, attentiveness, and precise reporting throughout each shift. Shift times vary based on facility location and operational needs. Full-time and part-time openings are available with shift assignment based on operational needs and candidate availability.
Position Overview
Officers assigned to these port and marine locations are responsible for enforcing access control procedures, verifying TWIC credentials and other required identification, and maintaining accurate logs of all personnel, vendor, and vessel activity throughout each shift. These are operationally demanding posts. Officers are expected to follow post orders precisely, communicate clearly with contractors, crews, and site management, and document all activity with accuracy and professionalism. Every shift requires complete access logs, incident documentation, and professional communication. Officers must be comfortable utilizing smartphones and mobile reporting applications to complete digital shift reports and activity logs in real time.
