This position is best suited for individuals who enjoy working independently, are comfortable driving for extended periods, can stay alert throughout overnight shifts, and consistently follow procedures without direct supervision.

You will drive a company patrol vehicle during your shift, complete detailed reports, communicate with supervisors and clients, and ensure each property receives thorough and professional security services.

This is an overnight position requiring consistent attendance, excellent time management, and the ability to remain focused and productive during long shifts.
