About the Role

Precision Security Team is hiring professional, reliable, and highly motivated Armed Mobile Patrol Guards to provide security services across multiple client locations.

Armed Mobile Patrol Guards spend much of their shift working independently in a company vehicle, traveling between assigned properties to conduct security checks, respond to alarms and incidents, identify safety and security concerns, and maintain a visible security presence.

This position requires safe and responsible driving, strong situational awareness, sound judgment, and the ability to make effective decisions independently. Guards must be comfortable responding to changing priorities and potentially high-stress situations while representing Precision Security Team and our clients with professionalism, integrity, and accountability.

Please Note: Precision Security Team provides security services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Schedule flexibility, dependable attendance, and punctuality are essential. Because driving is an essential function of this position, employees must maintain a valid driver's license and meet Precision Security Team's vehicle insurance requirements throughout employment in a driving-based assignment.
