Event Security Specialist (On-Call/Standby)

Location: Wilmington, DE (Events held statewide) Pay Rate: $18.00 – $20.00 per hour

Employment Type: Part-Time / Event-Based

Overview

Signal of Wilmington is seeking professional, high-visibility Event Security Specialists to join our elite "First Choice" standby roster. We provide security for a variety of monthly events ranging from festivals and concerts to private corporate gatherings across the state of Delaware.

This is not a traditional 40-hour desk job. We are looking for individuals with a strong physical presence and the tactical communication skills necessary to manage large crowds and maintain a safe, enjoyable environment for all attendees.

Key Responsibilities

  • Crowd Management: Monitor guest flow, manage entry points, and ensure "no-go" zones remain secure.

  • Active Presence: Maintain a highly visible, professional stance to deter disruptive behavior before it starts.

  • De-escalation: Use professional communication to resolve conflicts and handle intoxicated or unruly patrons.

  • Emergency Response: Act as a first responder in the event of medical emergencies or safety hazards, coordinating closely with local law enforcement if necessary.

  • Perimeter Integrity: Conduct regular patrols of the event space to identify and report potential security vulnerabilities.

Who You Are

  • Commanding Presence: You carry yourself with authority and confidence.

  • Alert & Proactive: You don’t wait for trouble to find you; you spot risks early.

  • Reliable: Since this is a standby/first-choice role, we need people who show up on time, every time, ready to work.

  • Mobile: You are willing to travel to various event locations throughout Delaware.

Requirements

  • Previous experience in security, law enforcement, or military is highly preferred.

  • Ability to stand and walk for extended periods (6–10 hours depending on the event).

  • Must have reliable transportation and a clean background check.

  • Valid Delaware Security Guard License (Yellow Card) or the ability to obtain one is required.

  • Must have smart phone with data to use throughout the shift. 

Why Join the Signal Roster?

As a "First Choice" team member, you will be our priority contact for all Delaware events. This is an ideal role for those looking for high-paying supplemental income with a flexible schedule.
