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 a 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 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, all year round.
As a security guard, you play a crucial role in maintaining the safety of operations that are important for Sweden. You will work with extended powers, often in close collaboration with our clients.
The work is varied and can include both stationary and patrolling security, access controls, or work in a security 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.
This assignment is performed with an armed security guard
The security guard service is conducted both indoors and outdoors, day and night. The length of shifts varies, but they are often scheduled in 12-hour shifts according to a rotating 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, 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
We are security. We are Securitas.
Requirements Specification
Requirements:
- You need to be a trained security guard with valid approval or be a trained guard at least VU2
- B driver's license
- Have approved grades in Swedish and English from high school
- Swedish citizen
It is advantageous 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 training 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 work.
- HAS (Handling of firearms) 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 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 in a security class 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 record 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 holistic 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
This is not a regular job - it is a mission in service to society. Are you the one we are looking for?
