About the Role

The Armed Security Officer provides a visible, professional security presence at our facility, protecting employees, visitors, contractors, executives, and company assets. This is a facility security post, not an executive-protection assignment — the role safeguards everyone in and around the HQ building, including members of the executive team as building occupants, through standard security operations: presence, monitoring, verification, and response.

• Enforce company policies, security procedures, and safety regulations consistently across shifts
• Maintain proficiency with issued firearms and approved defensive equipment
• Participate in ongoing training, drills, and professional development activities
