• Perform regular site patrols (every 60 minutes) to sustain a visible security presence and reinforce a safe, orderly environment.
• Control and monitor access for authorized employees, vehicles, and guests entering the premises.
• Contribute to a hazard-free worksite and ensure all personnel on-site are in compliance with PPE requirements.
• Provide first aid, CPR, and AED assistance in response to any medical emergencies that arise.
• Inspect all interior and exterior doors and gates to confirm they are secured properly and operating correctly.
• Conduct detailed walkthroughs of interior and exterior areas to identify potential hazards, property damage, maintenance issues, or abnormal conditions.
• Use the proper chain of command to report and escalate incidents involving suspicious behavior or individuals.
• Carry out any additional assignments as directed by TRIDENT leadership.

• Previous security experience is a plus.

LICENSE & DRIVING CREDENTIALS

• Must already possess a valid ASRB Guard Card within 30 days of hire and keep it active throughout the full term of employment.

KEY COMPETENCIES

• Emotional Regulation: Keeps composure and avoids reactive responses when conditions become challenging or tense.
• Stress Management: Performs well under pressure and takes criticism without losing focus.
• Tenacity: Dedicated to working through adversity and seeing challenges through to resolution.
• Proactiveness: Notices problems early and acts on them without waiting for direction.
• Reliability: Follows through on obligations consistently, manages time effectively, and is counted on by teammates.
• Analytical Thinking: Works through problems logically and looks for opportunities to develop and learn.
• Positive Attitude: Contributes enthusiasm and collaboration to the team in support of outstanding service delivery.
