Job Description

Securitas is now seeking security guards for assignments to protect critical operations for Sweden. This is a task for those who are not just looking for a job – but are ready to take on a responsibility with 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 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 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.

The security guard surveillance is conducted both indoors and outdoors, day and night. The length of work shifts varies, but is 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 involves, among other things, that you:

  • Patrol and monitor the protected object to detect deviations and suspicious activities
  • Manage incidents and alarms in collaboration with the police.
  • Perform checks according to applicable regulations and instructions

We are security. We are Securitas.

  • Have approved grades in Swedish and English from the first year of high school
  • B driver's license

It is advantageous if you also have:

  • Previous experience in guarding protected objects, other surveillance, or security work.
  • HAS training, Handling of firearms.

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 current regulations, security interviews, background checks, and register checks will be conducted. The assessment aims to investigate compliance with the law, 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.

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