As the country's largest employer in our industry, we can offer you development opportunities and variety that few other companies can. We strive for unified leadership with a balance between expectations and prerequisites.

About the Role

Securitas is now looking for guard force officers for assignments to protect vital societal functions in Sweden. This is an assignment for you 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 is about protecting what must function – 24/7, 365 days a year.

As a guard force officer, you play a crucial role in maintaining security for operations that are important to 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 control, or work in a monitoring center. You will need to make your own decisions in critical situations, have good endurance, and a stable judgment. Therefore, we are looking for a person who has the ability to remain calm when others do not – and who is loyal to Swedish interests.

Guard force security is conducted both indoors and outdoors, day and night. Shift lengths vary, but are often 12-hour shifts according to a rolling schedule. Since we operate in a business that runs every day of the year, working every other weekend is common.

The position includes among other things:

• Protecting vital societal functions from robbery, unauthorized access, and other threats.
• Performing checks according to current regulations and instructions.
• Cooperating with personnel and authorities on security matters.

We are security. We are Securitas.

Requirements

• Passed grade in Swedish from the first year of upper secondary school.
• Good knowledge of English.
• Category B driver's license.
• Civil or military guard force training; if you have completed guard force training with the Swedish Armed Forces within the framework of the Armed Forces' basic training (GMU), this can be validated for civilian use. The guard force training, as well as the GMU, must have been completed in 2016 or later, and your certificate of completion must not be older than five years at the time of application.

Merits if you also have:

• 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 your own and others' safety. You have a natural aptitude 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

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 for approval 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 potential vulnerabilities according to the Security Service's regulations and guidelines. Information collected may come from you, open sources, or authorities. We apply a holistic assessment of you, your life situation, and financial circumstances when evaluating your suitability.

In some cases, a corresponding check may be conducted on 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/you are not listed in the Swedish Police Authority's various registers, e.g., suspicion register, criminal record, etc.
• You/you have a sound economy; no payment defaults, unregulated debts, are not listed with collection agencies or the Swedish Enforcement Authority.

This is not an ordinary job – it is a mission in service of society. Are you the one we are looking for?
