As a Security Officer Armed Patrol Driver Role in Bryson City, NC, you will serve and safeguard clients in a range of industries such as Tech/Media/Telecom, and more. Join Allied Universal as an armed, driving officer at a dynamic tech and communications location, where you will monitor and patrol assigned areas, stay visible to help discourage security-related incidents, and deliver outstanding customer service.

Position Type: Full Time

Pay Rate: $37.50 / Hour

Job Schedule:

What You'll Do:

• Provide customer service to employees, visitors, and/or contractors by carrying out security-related procedures, site-specific policies, and when appropriate, emergency response activities at a technology-focused location.
• Respond to incidents, alarms, and/or critical situations in a calm, problem-solving manner, documenting relevant details and communicating with site contacts and/or Allied Universal leadership as needed.
• Conduct regular and random patrols throughout buildings, common areas, parking areas, and perimeter locations to help to deter unauthorized activity and identify unusual conditions.
• Monitor access points and visitor activity, verify credentials when required, and report suspicious behavior, maintenance concerns, and/or policy violations according to site guidelines.
• Support daily operations by preparing clear reports, maintaining awareness of site activity, and assisting with directions, escorts, and other security-related customer service needs.

Minimum Requirements:

• A CPO certification is required.
• Proof of required hospital vaccines is required.
• An armed guard card and/or license is required.
• Proof of a high school diploma or GED is required by the client.
• A valid driver’s license is required in accordance with Allied Universal driver policy requirements.
• Be at least 21 years of age for armed roles.
• Possess a high school diploma or equivalent.
• As a condition of employment, applicants will be subject to a background investigation in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws.
• Allied Universal will consider qualified applications with criminal histories in a manner consistent with applicable laws.
• As a condition of employment, applicants will be subject to a drug screen to the extent permitted by law.
• Participate in industry-specific security training programs.
• Licensing requirements are subject to state and/or local laws and regulations and may be required prior to employment.
• A valid driver’s license will be required for driving positions only.

• In-State Candidates Only: Out-of-state candidates are not a viable fit at this time, as the requirement to backfill their positions while they attend school and pass the full BLET State exam is too much of a hassle.

  * BLET Certification: Please note that backgrounds in Probation, Parole, or Corrections do not qualify as BLET law enforcement. These candidates would still be required to attend BLET classes and would be unable to be on a post, so we cannot move forward with them.

  * Active Experience: We are looking for candidates with active law enforcement experience within the last 3 years. The exception would be in-state candidates who have served at least 1 year in a full-time capacity as a sworn police officer and left their previous department in good standing.
