What We're Looking For

• Valid New York State Security Guard License - required before your first day

• Professional demeanor, polished appearance, and strict discretion at all times
• Ability to stand for extended periods and remain alert throughout the shift
• Reliable transportation and a consistent track record of showing up on time
• Availability for weekend scheduling and on-call assignments
