About the Company

Securitas plays a vital 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 full-time or part-time, day or night, we need more people.

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.

Securitas Sweden assigns its personnel for wartime service. This means in short that as an employee, in the event of war, you will retain your employment and be led by Securitas.

You take care of people's safety – Securitas takes care of you.

About the Role

Securitas is now looking for guard 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, year-round.

As a guard 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 static 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 is loyal to Swedish interests.

"It is a very tight-knit group and we become like a family since the group is relatively small – which creates a strong sense of community and means that every new colleague quickly becomes an important part of the team."

– Johan, Recruiting Manager

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

Requirements

To be employed, you must meet certain basic requirements. You must have approved upper secondary school grades in Swedish, equivalent to Swedish 1. Since the role involves driving, a Category B driver's license is also required.

We do not intend to train guard officers within the framework of this recruitment, but we would prefer that you already have a valid civilian or military guard officer training. If you have completed the training within the Swedish Armed Forces, for example as part of the basic training (GMU), it can be validated for civilian use. Note that the guard officer training and GMU must have been completed in 2016 or later, and the certificate of training must not be older than five years at the time of application.

Specifically requested requirements:

• Approved grades in Swedish and English from upper secondary school (Swedish 1 and English 5 or equivalent).
• Category B driver's license.
• Valid civilian or military guard officer training.

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 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 implies 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 register checks will be conducted. The assessment aims to investigate law-abidingness, suitability, reliability, loyalty, and any vulnerabilities according to the Security Service's regulations and guidelines. Information collected may come from yourself, open sources, or authorities. We apply a holistic assessment of you, your life situation, and financial circumstances when testing your suitability.

In some cases, 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 register, criminal record register, etc.
• You have organized finances; 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?
