Active Perimeter Patrols: Conduct physical perimeter and foot patrols throughout the construction footprint every 30 minutes to check staging areas, trailers, gates, and storage containers.
Digital Guard Tour Tracking: Utilize GuardMetrics on your smartphone to scan tour checkpoints, log active patrol rounds, track site incidents, and log shift activity in real-time.

Duty Belt Accessories: High-lumen flashlight with belt pouch (essential for overnight construction patrols), handcuffs with key, and magazine pouches.
Technology: Smartphone capable of running GuardMetrics for tour verification, real-time clock-ins, and digital incident reporting.

Requirements & Qualifications

Certifications: Active PA Act 235 (Lethal Weapons Training Act) certification is strictly required.
Transportation: Must have your own reliable personal vehicle to guarantee punctual arrival on-site.
Experience: Background in security, asset protection, construction safety, military, or law enforcement preferred.
Vigilance & Reliability: Strong work ethic, high alertness, and the ability to work independently outdoors/overnight without direct supervision.
IMPORTANT DOCUMENTATION: Please have your current/active Driver's License, PA Act 235 Card, and Social Security Card on your person and ready to email, as we are making hiring decisions during the interview.
