Security Officer, Site Security
Job Description & How to Apply Below
Be the Calm, Watchful Presence That Helps Keep Everyone Safe.
This isn't a role built around sitting at a desk watching a monitor. You'll be a visible, approachable presence across our campus-patrolling buildings and parking areas, responding to incidents, assisting employees and visitors, supporting traffic flow, and keeping your eyes open for anything that doesn't look quite right.
If you're observant, dependable, calm under pressure, and naturally look out for the people around you, this is a role where those qualities matter every day.
What You'll DoYour job is simple to explain, but important to get right:
Help make sure the people who come onto our campus leave it just as safely. You'll spend time throughout our facilities, grounds, and parking areas—not waiting for someone to tell you there's a problem.
- Patrol campus buildings, grounds, and parking areas.
- Stay alert for hazards, suspicious activity, disorder, or anything else that needs attention.
- Help ensure employees and visitors follow established safety and security procedures.
- Identify potential hazards and report concerns to the EHS Manager.
- Complete periodic inspections of safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and First Aid supply cabinets.
Sometimes the most important thing you'll do before it becomes an incident.
Be Ready When Something HappensMost days won't be emergencies. But when one happens, people need someone who can stay calm enough to think clearly.
You'll respond to situations involving fires, severe weather, accidents, suspicious activity, or crimes involving people or property. You'll assess what's happening, take appropriate action within your role, and make sure the right people are brought in when needed.
The goal isn't to be the loudest person in the situation. It's to be one of the calmest.
Investigate. Document. Follow Through.What happens after an incident matters too. You'll conduct incident investigations and prepare detailed, accurate reports that help management understand what happened and determine what needs to happen next. You'll also support follow-up actions involving safety and security concerns.
That means you'll need good judgment, strong attention to detail, and the ability to separate what you know happened from what someone assumes happened.
You'll also handle sensitive information, so discretion and confidentiality are essential.
Keep People—and Traffic—MovingWith employees, visitors, delivery drivers, and trucks moving throughout campus, security also plays an important role in keeping things organized.
You'll:
- Monitor parking and traffic regulations.
- Issue citations or coordinate towing when necessary.
- Direct vehicle and pedestrian traffic during high-volume periods or special events.
- Support Shipping with driver check-ins and truck traffic flow.
- Help employees and visitors experiencing vehicle problems, including jump-starts or coordinating locksmith and towing services.
Sometimes you're enforcing a rule. Sometimes you're solving a problem. And sometimes you're simply helping someone whose morning just got a lot more frustrating because their car won't start.
Be Someone People Are Comfortable ApproachingSecurity works better when people aren't afraid to talk to Security. You'll regularly interact with employees, visitors, contractors, and drivers—providing directions, answering questions, helping solve problems, and serving as a visible resource across campus.
What We're Looking ForWe're looking for someone who pays attention.
The person who notices the unfamiliar vehicle that's been sitting somewhere too long.
The blocked walkway.
The safety issue everyone else has walked past three times.
The employee who looks like they might need help.
And when something actually happens, you're able to…
