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 more people.

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 unified leadership with a balance between expectations and conditions.

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

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 operations for Sweden. This is a mission 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's about protecting what must function – around the clock, year-round.

As a security guard, you play a crucial role in maintaining the security of operations that are important for Sweden. You work with extended powers, often in close collaboration with our clients.

The work is varied and may include both stationary and patrolling security, access controls, or work in the security center. You will need to make your own decisions in critical situations, have good endurance, and sound 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 all year round, it is common to work every other weekend.

The position includes, among other things:

  • Protecting critical operations from unauthorized access and other threats
  • Conducting checks according to applicable regulations and instructions
  • Collaborating with personnel and authorities on security issues

We are security. We are Securitas.

Requirements

  • Have approved grades in Swedish and English from 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 and 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 safety work

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 involves undergoing 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 record checks will be conducted. The assessment aims to investigate lawfulness, 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 holistic assessment of you, your life situation, and financial conditions when assessing your suitability.

In relevant cases, a corresponding check may be made of 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 various registers of the Police Authority, e.g., suspect registers, criminal records, etc.
  • You have organized finances; no payment remarks, unresolved debts, or are listed with collection agencies or the Enforcement Authority

This is not just a regular job - it is a mission in service to society. Are you the one we are looking for?
