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 variation that few other companies can. We strive for consistent leadership with a balance between expectations and conditions.
Securitas Sweden places its personnel in wartime. This means that as an employee, in the event of war, you will retain your employment and be managed by Securitas.
You take care of people's safety – Securitas takes care of you.
About the Role
Securitas is now looking for security guards to protect critical infrastructure for Sweden. This is a role for those who are not just looking for a job – but are ready to take on a task with great responsibility and real 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 play a crucial role in maintaining the safety of operations that are important for Sweden. You work with extended powers, often in close collaboration with our clients.
The work is varied and can include both stationary and patrolling surveillance, access controls, or work in a 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.
You are a central part of the security work within a protected object with high demands. You work to prevent and manage security threats such as sabotage, espionage, and terrorism. The role requires accuracy, responsibility, and the ability to act quickly in critical situations.
Security guard duties are performed 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, it is common to work every other weekend.
The position includes, among other things:
- Patrolling and monitoring the protected object to detect deviations and suspicious activities
- Managing incidents and alarms in cooperation with the police.
- Conducting checks according to applicable regulations and instructions
- Cooperating with personnel and authorities on security issues
We are safety. We are Securitas.
Requirements:
- Trained security guard, order guard, or security officer
- Have approved grades in Swedish and English from the first year of high school
- B driver's license
It is an advantage if you also have:
- Civil or military security guard training; 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 certificate must not be older than five years at the time of application
- Previous experience in guarding protected objects, other security work, or security-related tasks.
- Weapon training
- Handled weapons
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 experience and 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 the Security Protection Act (2018:585). To investigate and assess whether you meet the requirements to be approved according to current regulations, security interviews, background checks, and registry 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 assessing your suitability.
If applicable, a corresponding check may be conducted for those 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 an orderly economy; no payment remarks, unresolved debts, or are listed with collection agencies or the Enforcement Authority
- You must also pass a weapon training with a successful shooting test
This is not an ordinary job - it is a mission in service to society. Are you the one we are looking for?
