The Night Watchman is a position from 11pm to 7am daily at a construction site on a large private estate. The goal of this position is to provide proactive theft deterrence at the job site – if people know there is a guard present, they won’t come looking to cause trouble. The site will be outfitted with sensors to alert the agent when intruders are at the site.

In that case, the agent would be required to use a high‑powered megaphone to warn intruders that the site is protected and that the agent is ready to contact law enforcement. The agent is not expected to use force or carry firearms. The agent will be responsible for regular reporting and noting intrusion incidents. This is a 7‑day a week job, 56 hours per week if full time.

Part time also possible. This is an important role where you are expected to have exceptional vigilance, professional judgment, and a proactive approach to risk mitigation.
