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 to grow our team.

As the 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.

Job Description

Do you want to work with Sweden's security? 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.

The Mission

As a security guard, you play a crucial role in maintaining the security 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 surveillance, access controls, or work in a monitoring center. You will need to make independent 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.

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 all year round, it is common to work every other weekend. You will work with a newly started client where there are great opportunities to influence the operation. The team consists of about 10 colleagues - a close-knit group where collaboration and professionalism are at the center.

Your main responsibilities include:

  • 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

Why choose us?

We are one of the world's leading security actors, but above all, we are about safety. With us, you will have a meaningful job, a strong community, and the opportunity to develop in a role that truly matters.

Requirements

  • Have approved grades in Swedish and English from high school
  • Class B driver's license
  • Swedish citizenship
  • Approved security clearance

It is highly meritorious if you also have:

  • Civil or military security guard training; if you have completed security guard training with the Armed Forces within the framework 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 and experience behind you and 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 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 legal compliance, 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.

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 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?
