Company Description

Securitas plays an important role in society and manages one of Sweden's most important missions - to protect and help people feel safe. Now you have the chance to become part of Sweden's largest security company. Whether you want to work a lot or a little, day or night, we need to grow.

As the country's largest employer in our industry, we can offer you development opportunities and variety that few other companies can. We strive for uniform leadership with a balance between expectations and conditions.

Securitas Sweden places its personnel in a war situation. This means that you, as an employee, will retain your employment and be managed by Securitas in the event of war.

About the Role

With us, you get the chance to grow in a socially important role with good opportunities for future full-time employment. You need to be available for work on both weekdays and weekends – and importantly: during June–August, you have the opportunity to work up to full-time and make a real difference when our need is greatest.

Do you want to secure your place with Sweden's largest security company and have a summer filled with valuable experience? Apply today!

Securitas is now looking for security guards to protect critical operations for Sweden. This is a task for you who are not just looking for a job – but are ready to take on a responsibility with great significance for our country's supply and security. It is about protecting what must function – around the clock, year-round.

As a security guard, you have a crucial role in maintaining the security of operations that are important for Sweden.

The work is varied and can include both stationary and patrolling surveillance, access controls, or work in the monitoring center. You will need to make your own decisions in critical situations, have good endurance, and stable judgment. Therefore, we are looking for a person who has the ability to remain calm when others do not – and is loyal to Swedish interests.

Security guard duties are carried out both indoors and outdoors, day and night. The length of shifts varies, but they are often scheduled in 12-hour shifts according to a rolling schedule. Since we work in an operation that is active every day of the year, this includes work on both weekdays and weekends.

The position includes, among other things, that you:

  • Protect critical operations from unauthorized access and other threats
  • Perform checks according to applicable regulations and instructions
  • Collaborate with staff and authorities on security issues
  • You will carry a weapon

Requirements

  • Trained security guard (civilian or military) with valid approval.
  • Approved high school grades in Swedish and English.
  • B driver's license.
  • Completed and approved security clearance, as the position is classified (conducted by us as part of the recruitment process).
  • Approved weapon training (to be completed before June, over 5 weekdays).
  • Availability for work up to full-time during the period June–August.

It is advantageous if you also have:

  • Previous experience in guarding protected objects, other security work or security operations.
  • Have undergone extensive security clearances
  • Weapon training (HAS)
  • OC spray

Important to know:

You can have employment with another security company during the recruitment process. If you are offered the position with us, you cannot have a parallel employment with another security company. This is because the role is classified and such a situation would create a conflict of interest.

Clarification for you as a military security guard: If you have completed security guard training with the Armed Forces as part of the Armed Forces basic training (GMU), this can be validated for civilian use. The security guard training, as well as GMU, must have been completed in 2016 or later and your training certificate must not be older than five years at the time of application. You should have the documentation ready in your application, as it may take time to request from the Armed Forces.

We are looking for a person with integrity, maturity, and the ability to take responsibility – both for their own and others' safety. You have a natural inclination for structure and order, and a vigilance that others trust. This is a position for you who have life and experience behind you, and who are now ready to use it to make a difference.

Security Clearance

Please note that the position is classified and means that you will undergo a security clearance according to Security Protection Act (2018:585). To investigate and assess whether you meet the requirements to be approved according to applicable regulations, security interviews, background checks, and register checks will be conducted. The assessment aims to investigate legality, suitability, reliability, loyalty, and any vulnerabilities according to the Security Police's regulations and guidelines. Information obtained may come from you, open sources, or authorities. We apply a comprehensive assessment of you, your life situation, and financial conditions when evaluating your suitability.

If applicable, a corresponding check may be made of the person you live with or have a similar relationship with.

To be considered for the position, it is therefore required (at a minimum) that;

  • You are not listed in the Police Authority's various registers, e.g., suspicion registers, criminal records, etc.
  • You have organized finances; do not have payment remarks, unresolved debts, or are listed with collection agencies or the Enforcement Authority

Additional Information

We only accept applications via our recruitment tool. We work with ongoing selection, so if you are interested in the position – send your application today!

If you have questions about the role, please feel free to contact: [email protected]

  • The position is a need-based employment with start date as agreed. We apply a 6-month probationary period
  • The schedule for the period June-August will be provided no later than May.
  • We work with selection tests
  • We primarily communicate via email
  • The application deadline is January 16, 2026.

For employment within Securitas Sverige AB, it is required that you have approved grades from high school in Swedish and English and are approved by the County Administrative Board for employment in an authorized security company (the application is made by Securitas).

Salary and employment conditions are based on the collective agreement between the employer organization Security Companies and the Swedish Transport Workers' Union.
