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.

• 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.
