About the Role

Securitas is now looking for security guards in Karlsborg for a full-time assignment to protect critical operations 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’s 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 will work with extended powers, often in close collaboration with our clients.

The work is varied and may include both stationary and patrolling security, access control, 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 someone who can remain calm when others cannot – and is loyal to Swedish interests.

• Karlsborg
• Full-time
• Daytime

Security guard duties are 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 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 involves, among other things, that you:

• Protect critical operations from unauthorized access and other threats
• Perform checks according to applicable regulations and instructions
• Collaborate with personnel and authorities on security matters

We are security. We are Securitas.

Requirements

• Have approved grades in Swedish from the first year of high school
• Have good English skills
• Driver's license B

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 tasks.

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 requires you to undergo a security clearance according to the Security Protection Act (2018:585). To investigate and assess whether you meet the requirements to be approved under 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 collected may come from you, open sources, or authorities. We apply a comprehensive assessment of you, your life situation, and financial conditions when evaluating your suitability.

In relevant cases, a corresponding check may be conducted on 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 various registers of the Police Authority, 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 just a regular job - it is a mission in service to society. Are you the one we are looking for?
