GardaWorld is the world's largest privately-owned security services company. We protect our clients' staff and assets, wherever they are in the world. We offer different schedules, diverse work assignments spanning multiple industries and career advancement opportunities. We encourage diversity and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. GardaWorld Security Services is looking for Special Response Officers (SROs) to fulfill different assignments for our clients.

General Duties & Expectations

The SRO reports directly to the Branch Manager or designated representative and is a position utilized by the branch to provide operational support to the field.

The position of SRO is an as needed position that may require an SRO to work any shift on any given day as dictated by the needs of the business. Therefore, an SRO must be flexible to respond quickly to work any location or any shift in a pre-determined geography.

An SRO is expected to maintain a means of communication in order to receive work and that if contacted with a message left, must return the call within 1 hour.

Refusals of work and reasons will be documented, and refusals of work will result in removal from the SRO position. Not returning calls to CSM's and Field Supervisors within 1 hour will be considered a refusal of work.

An SRO may be scheduled to perform work at any client site as business needs dictate and it is the SRO's responsibility to keep track of all assignments.

SROs will receive training at all accounts designated by branch management and must be able to successfully adapt to various security environments (i.e. corporate, manufacturing, logistics, etc.).

While assigned to work at any Client site, an SRO must follow all Client rules and adhere to all standards set forth by the Client and GardaWorld Security Company.

Upon arrival to the assigned response post, a GardaWorld SRO will be tasked with the same duties as a Security Officer and will abide by the same policies and procedures.

An SRO may be assigned to other operational special duties or tasks as determined by the Branch Manager or designated representative.

An SRO is expected to remain in the position for a minimum period of 6 months and at the end of that time may request reassignment to a standard post; however an SRO may be offered the opportunity to fill a standard post earlier than 6 months if business needs dictate or if requested by Client of CSM.

Basic Qualifications:

The SRO must be available to work all days and shifts as well as remain flexible to respond quickly on short notice to work any location or shift in a pre-determined geography.
