Descripción del empleo

JLL's property and asset management business is hiring a security manager for a commercial property in Mumbai, reporting directly to the estate manager, to own the fire-safety and security operation of the site: the guarding vendor's staff, the weekly fire drill, the access control and CCTV, the investigations and the disaster-management plan. The posting, requisition REQ534190 on JLL's Workday careers site, was published on 18 September 2026 and asks for a degree and five to eight years of security experience with time on the property type in question. This page sets out what the posting says, what the employer asks for, what the shift and the site look like, and where a candidate relocating to Mumbai for the role can live near the western business districts; it links to the posting itself, which is the only place to apply.

The posting in detail

The role is the site's first responder and its security planner at once. Day to day it supervises the fire-safety and security staff, on-roll and contract, assigning work, checking it, and training them in daily procedures, customer handling, basic life safety and first aid; it keeps the security policy, the checklists and the procedure manual current, and it knows the building's security panels and the fire and life-safety code that applies to them. It manages the manpower records for every guard, training, compliance documents and rosters, approves and interviews contract hires, and holds a weekly meeting with the guarding vendor's operations head whose minutes go to the property manager and the client. The physical work is the patrol, lifts and every entrance and exit, the surveillance equipment, the access-control points and the alarms, controlling who enters the building and watching what visitors do; the paper work is the investigation and the incident report, the material-movement and lost-and-found registers, the after-hours security reports, the daily, weekly and monthly meeting data the client wants, and the fire, safety and security audits the role leads. It runs the weekly fire drill for security and unit staff, leads on fire safety at site events, drafts the disaster-management plan with the site team, and in an emergency coordinates with the tenant, the client and the administration to get an injured person to hospital and hand over to doctors or the authorities. It also owns the security budget and the staffing plan, and sits in the performance and behaviour reviews of contract staff.

The fire drill every week, the incident report the same day and the disaster-management plan on file: the three documents this role is judged on

What JLL asks for

A qualified degree holder with five to eight years in security and relevant experience on the property type, here a commercial building; the posting names analytical and meticulous work, attention to detail, logical problem-solving for short- and long-term security needs, and integrity as the traits it screens for, and it expects the candidate to build, maintain and validate the performance of subordinate security staff. Experience with a guarding vendor's operations, a working knowledge of fire and life-safety codes and the ability to run a drill and an investigation are the three things an interview will test; the fire-safety guide lists the extinguisher, exit and drill regime a candidate should be able to describe from memory, and a service background is common but not stated as required.

The site, the shift and the hours

The site is a commercial property in Mumbai with a site team the posting describes as the property manager plus two, and the security manager is accountable directly to the estate manager. The posting does not state a shift; a security manager on a commercial tower typically works a day shift with on-call responsibility for the night, since the role is the emergency first responder, and a candidate should ask the recruiter how nights and weekends are covered and whether the site runs a control room. Mumbai's commercial properties cluster in Bandra Kurla Complex , Nariman Point, Lower Parel, Andheri East and Powai , and the recruiter will say which; the verification guide is worth reading for the tenant's-eye view of a security operation, since it is the view an audit takes.

Questions to ask the recruiter about this posting

Which commercial property, and on which line; a security manager's first question is the site, because the last-mile guide 's walk at 11 pm is her own commute. How the night is covered: does the role hold the phone, is there a control room, and who is the first responder between midnight and six. The guarding vendor's name, its strength on site and the contract's end date, since a manager inherits the vendor's problems on day one. The weekly fire drill's current state: when it was last run, whether the fire NOC is current and when the last audit found what. The estate manager's expectations for the monthly report and the sunrise data the posting mentions, and the format used. The security budget the role implements and whether it is the manager's to propose or only to spend. Whether the site has had an incident in the last year the candidate should know about before the interview, which a good recruiter answers and a poor one deflects. And the range, asked plainly, since the posting does not state it.

Where security and life-safety roles sit in India's property sector

A security manager or officer on a managed property owns the gate, the access control, the patrols, the CCTV, the visitor and material registers, the fire drills and the emergency response, and manages the contract guarding vendor whose staff do the standing. Integrated facility and property management firms such as JLL place these roles at commercial towers, campuses and townships, reporting to the property or estate manager, and the work is measured in incidents prevented, drills run and audits passed. The career runs from officer to assistant manager to manager, often from the armed forces or a guarding company; the fire-safety guide , the verification guide and the caretaker guide describe the same duties at PG scale, where the caretaker holds the gate and the owner reviews the camera.

What the posting does not say about pay, and how to read it

The postings state the site, the reporting line, the hours and sometimes the team size and rarely a salary; this page invents none. A manager over a commercial tower's guarding contract and an officer on a single shift sit in different bands, and the recruiter gives the range at the first call. The licensing guide explains the fire NOC and the police-register regime a candidate will be asked about in the interview from the compliance side.

How to prepare the application

Apply through the Workday link on this page with a CV that states the sites guarded by size and headcount, the vendor contracts managed, the drills and audits run, the incident-reporting formats used and any service background, since the screening reads for those. Expect a scenario round on a fire evacuation or a theft investigation and a question on the disaster-management plan. A candidate relocating should read the PG pages linked below; a security role is shift-based and often nights, and the night-entry guide explains why the house's door rule is the first question to ask.

The interview, in practice

Security-management interviews run on scenarios and documents. The screening confirms the sites guarded, the vendor contracts managed and the drills run; the scenario round, with the property or estate manager, gives a fire alarm on the fourteenth floor at 7 pm with the lift lobby full, a theft reported from a tenant's floor, and a guard found asleep at the gate, and listens for the sequence, the evacuation, the head count, the incident report, the client call, the vendor meeting. A documents round asks to see, or to describe from memory, the disaster-management plan, the weekly drill register, the visitor and material registers and the lost-and-found log from the last site. A people round asks how the candidate has disciplined a vendor's guard, retained a good one and handled a complaint against the guarding team from a woman tenant. Service background is checked with the discharge papers; a candidate should carry them, the police-verification receipt for herself and the fire-safety certificates to the first meeting.

What a security manager reads on PeeGee.in

A security professional reads a PG listing for the gate: the guard's hours and the camera positions the women's verification guide teaches a seeker to ask about, the night-entry process in the night-entry guide, the caretaker's own police verification in the caretaker guide, the extinguisher and the exit in the fire-safety guide. A house that answers those in sentences rather than in the phrase '24x7 security' is a house run by someone who has read an audit report, and the advertising rules explain why the site removes the phrase and keeps the sentences.

Progression from this role

From a security manager's chair the path runs to cluster security manager, city or regional head of security for a facility-management firm or an occupier, and corporate security roles after, over ten years; the record that moves a candidate is incidents prevented, audits passed and drills run, kept as numbers. A fire-safety certification, an industrial-security course and, for corporate roles, a certification such as the CPP are the usual credentials, and a service background is common but not required; the verification guide explains why the security manager who can describe a gate to a woman tenant in plain sentences is the one the client keeps.

Living near the site: PG options in Mumbai

A security manager's hours make the walk from the room to the site the first question, and Mumbai's answer depends on the line. For a site in Bandra Kurla Complex the Bandra page and the Kalina guide put attached-bath singles at the top of their bands within a walk of the Complex and doubles in Kalina's middle; for Andheri East the Andheri East page ran ₹6,000-35,000 across 21 owner price points in September 2026, with the family houses off the Marol lanes near the Metro Line 1 stations; for Powai the Powai page and the Powai guide cover the buildings between the campus and the lake. A candidate who does not yet know the site should take a short-stay bed for the first fortnight, and the metro-first guide explains why the Western and Central lines decide the rest. Start from the Mumbai PG hub , the ladies’ PG page for Mumbai , the working men’s page , the short-stay page and the under-₹5,000 page , and read the city cost guide for the September 2026 owner-listing bands by locality before setting a budget.
