Security Guard Specialist

Position Summary:

We are seeking a highly observant and reliable Security Guard Specialist to maintain the safety and integrity of a specific access point. This is a non-confrontational, stationary post focused on surveillance and reporting. The primary responsibility is to monitor a designated gate, watch for any unauthorized movements or openings, and report incidents immediately. This is an independent role that requires exceptional attention to detail and a strong sense of responsibility.

Key Responsibilities:

Maintain a constant and vigilant watch over a designated gate and its surrounding area.
* Observe and report any unauthorized vehicles, individuals, or suspicious activity.
* Document all observations and incidents in a timely and accurate log.
* Serve as the primary "eyes and ears" for the property, escalating any security breaches or concerns according to protocol.
* Remain alert and focused throughout the entirety of the assigned shift.
* Be able to lift and move up to 15 pounds (e.g., a small barrier, signage, or personal equipment).

What This Position Is NOT:

* This is a non-confrontational role. You will not be required to perform any physical restraining, make physical contact with any individual, or engage in altercations.

* This is not a patrol or mobile security position. Your duties will be centered at a fixed observation post.

Compensation Details: $18- $20 per hour.

Payment Schedule:

Payment will be processed two (2) weeks following the completion of each event.

Requirements:

* High level of attention to detail and strong observational skills.
* Excellent communication skills for clear and concise reporting.
* Punctuality and a strong sense of responsibility.
* Ability to work independently without direct supervision.
* Must be able to lift or move 15 pounds.
* Must have a smartphone. Interested parties will need to send their security guard card.

Pay: $18.00 - $20.00 per hour

Work Location: In person

Salary : $18 - $20
