Full-time Pooler, Georgia On-site $17.50/hr

Pay: $17.50 per hour

Night shift (Mon - Fri ): 10:00pm- 0600am

Job Overview:

Join our team as a Security Guard and play a crucial role in maintaining a safe and secure environment for our organization. As a Security Guard, you will be responsible for ensuring the safety of our premises, assets, and personnel. If you are detail-oriented, have strong conflict management skills, and are dedicated to upholding security protocols, we invite you to apply.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct regular patrols of the premises to detect and deter any suspicious activity
• Monitor surveillance equipment, including CCTV systems, to ensure a proactive approach to security
• Respond promptly to alarms or calls for assistance
• Escort individuals as needed and assist in maintaining order during events or emergencies
• Enforce property regulations and act to prevent trespassing or other unauthorized activities
• Collaborate with law enforcement agencies when necessary
• Provide first aid or CPR in emergency situations

• Possession of relevant certifications such as First Aid, CPR, or surveillance training is advantageous
• Familiarity with militarized security procedures is a plus
• Knowledge of CCTV systems and their operation
• Understanding of loss prevention strategies and techniques

Skills:

Comfort working in current weather conditions - it's cold right now, and guards will need to step outside the guard shack to complete guard logs and perform inspections. The same applies during summertime when temperatures are high; guards must be able to work safely and consistently in both extremes.

Strong computer skills - they must accurately enter equipment information into the security website.

Alertness during slower periods - guards cannot sleep or disengage when there are gaps between driver arrivals.

Proper documentation - guards must complete all entries and follow procedure, not simply allow drivers into the yard without verification.

Certification is not required, but they must understand the purpose of security. This includes protecting the property, checking IDs to verify identity, and not being afraid to challenge unauthorized persons when necessary.

Join our team as a Security Guard and contribute to maintaining a secure environment for our organization.
