About the Job

Your day-to-day work varies from day to day. The main task is to actively prevent and manage situations that may arise. Much problem-solving occurs, both independently and together with your shift team. The role requires you to be confident in your authority, have good social skills, and communicate clearly. You need to be able to set boundaries, act quickly when necessary, and always behave professionally – both towards colleagues, personnel at the security object, and individuals near the security object. The work is shift-based, which means varying working hours and a dynamic work setup. The employment begins with a 6-month probationary period.

Requirements Specification

About You

As a security guard, you are a key person in maintaining safety and security in a critical environment. You act both as a role model and as part of a strong team where collaboration and responsibility are central. Since you carry a weapon in service, you are well aware of what that entails and have a high level of personal maturity.

Being a security guard also requires physical ability - you are expected to be able to run after and hold unauthorized or suspicious individuals.

In the event of a major incident/work, you will take on a leadership role.

To be considered for the position, you need to have a complete high school education. Experience as a security guard, police officer, military personnel, or in the security industry is advantageous, as is leadership experience. You have very good knowledge of both Swedish and English. A valid driver's license (B) is also a requirement.

With us, you will have the opportunity to develop in a role with significant responsibility where your contribution makes a difference. We value engagement, collaboration, and continuous development.
