Description:

Precision Security Team is a veteran-owned and operated company proudly serving northern Colorado and surrounding areas. Since our establishment in 2018, we have experienced remarkable growth, earning the trust of local government agencies, schools, critical infrastructure sites, event organizers, and more. Based in the region stretching from Denver, CO, to Cheyenne, WY, we are committed to excellence in security services.

We take pride in hiring veterans, former law enforcement personnel, and first responders and strongly encourage individuals with such backgrounds to apply. However, we are equally committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. Precision Security Team is an equal-opportunity employer, and all candidates are evaluated based on their qualifications, without discrimination or bias.

As an Armed Security Officer at Precision Security Team, you will play a key role in maintaining a safe and secure environment for the public at your assigned location. Your responsibilities will include addressing security concerns and handling requests as needed to ensure the safety and satisfaction of clients and the community.

Every Security Officer at Precision Security Team is entrusted with delivering an exceptional experience for our clients while safeguarding their interests. It is essential to uphold the company’s professional image at all times—whether interacting with clients, the public, or law enforcement.

As a member of our team, you are expected to embody and demonstrate Precision Security Team’s core values and code of conduct in all aspects of your work.

We are actively seeking to fill this position as soon as possible; however, our priority is finding the right candidate—not just the first available one. We are committed to hiring someone who aligns with our standards, values, and expectations, and who is prepared to take on the responsibilities of this role with professionalism and dedication.

Your schedule would be 2:30 pm-10:30 pm Saturday through Tuesday for a total of 32 hours with the opportunity to pick up additional shifts. Please do not apply if this does not work with your availability.

The ideal candidate is used to working overnight hours and can stick with that schedule long-term, as this position is overnights and is not suited for individuals who may need to transition to days due to difficulty adjusting to the schedule. If working nights is too hard on you or you think you might need to switch to days later, this probably isn’t the right fit.

Candidates with prior military or law enforcement experience are preferred.

Critical Roles of the Position:

Professional Firearms Proficiency: Must be qualified to carry a firearm for professional security purposes, maintaining a strong understanding of safe handling, usage, and legal requirements.

Report Writing Expertise: Demonstrated ability to create clear, concise, and accurate professional reports, including incident and after-action reports, adhering to proper documentation standards.

Adaptability to Varied Shifts: Comfortable working night and swing shifts, with the flexibility to adjust to operational needs and varying schedules.

De-Escalation Expertise: Skilled in de-escalation techniques, particularly for situations involving displaced individuals, mental health crises, or challenging corrections-related encounters.

Effective Team Communication: Strong communication skills to coordinate effectively with team members, relay critical information, and maintain seamless operational collaboration.

Respond to Alarm Activations: Quickly and effectively respond to alarm calls, investigating the cause, assessing potential threats, and taking appropriate action to resolve the situation or escalate it to the proper authorities.

Precision Security Team or the client can assign other duties to you as necessary at any time.

Mandatory Qualifications:

• Possess a current valid driver's license.
