Summary

The Armed Security Officer provides a visible, professional security presence at our facility, protecting employees, visitors, contractors, executives, and company assets. This is a facility security post, not an executive-protection assignment — the role safeguards everyone in and around the HQ building, including members of the executive team as building occupants, through standard security operations: presence, monitoring, verification, and response.

In this role, you will conduct patrols, control access, monitor security systems, and serve as first responder to security incidents and medical emergencies, coordinating with the Security Manager and outside emergency responders as needed.

Responsibilities Include The Following

• Conduct routine interior and exterior patrols of the corporate campus, parking lots, and surrounding property
• Monitor access control systems, surveillance cameras, alarms, and related security technology
• Verify employee, visitor, and contractor credentials; enforce access control procedures
• Conduct security inspections and identify vulnerabilities or safety concerns
• Respond to security incidents, disturbances, suspicious activity, and emergency situations
• Provide first response to medical and other emergencies until relieved by emergency personnel
• Assist with building evacuations, shelter-in-place events, and emergency response operations
• Coordinate with local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency responders when necessary
• Protect employees, visitors, contractors, executives, and company assets through standard facility security measures
• Investigate and document incidents, accidents, property damage, and policy violations
• Complete accurate and detailed incident reports, daily activity reports, and security logs
• Maintain patrol coverage during Security Manager absences by adjusting shift start/end times as needed, with reasonable notice
• Enforce company policies, security procedures, and safety regulations consistently across shifts
• Maintain proficiency with issued firearms and approved defensive equipment
• Participate in ongoing training, drills, and professional development activities

• Other security-related duties as assigned
