Job description

Cascade West Partners, a real estate development company, seeks a Security Guard to protect its properties in Pittsburgh, PA. This full-time position offers a negotiable salary and is open until November 23, 2026.

You will be responsible for vigilantly monitoring security systems, including surveillance cameras, motion detectors, and alarm systems, to ensure the safety and security of the property and its occupants. This involves regularly checking these systems for any signs of malfunction or tampering, and promptly reporting any issues to the appropriate personnel. Additionally, you will conduct regular patrols around the property perimeters, both during business hours and after hours, to deter potential intruders and ensure that all areas are secure. During these patrols, you will also be on the lookout for any suspicious activities, such as unauthorized access, loitering, or unusual behavior, and will document any such incidents for further investigation. In the event of an emergency, you will respond swiftly and effectively, providing assistance to those in need and coordinating with emergency services as required. Furthermore, you will play a crucial role in managing access control, which includes verifying the identities of individuals seeking entry to the property, issuing access cards or badges, and monitoring access points to prevent unauthorized entry.
