Who We Are

ARDENT Protection is a Florida-based private security and protection company founded in 2020. We are on a mission to professionalize the security and protection industry by raising the standard for training, leadership, field support, client service, and employee growth.

Our core values guide how we hire, lead, train, and serve:

• People First
• Humble Excellence

This seat is an important part of ARDENT’s field operation. Armed Security Officers protect people, property, and trust through professional presence, clear communication, accurate reporting, sound judgment, and consistent standards.

This role supports a residential and community environment. It requires professionalism, alertness, strong communication, and the ability to remain calm during both routine and tense situations.

Serve with professionalism, protect with care, and represent ARDENT’s standards at the post every day.

You are not just standing a post. You are helping create a safer, more respectful, and better-supported environment for the people who live, work, visit, and serve there.

• Compensation: $20-$21 per hour
• Weekly Pay: Get paid every week to help you manage your finances with ease.
• Professional Development Opportunities: Access ongoing training, certifications, and opportunities for career growth within the company.
• Health, Dental, and Vision Benefits: Comprehensive coverage to support your overall well-being.
• Ongoing Training and Growth: Resources to help you grow professionally and develop the skills needed to excel in your role and beyond.
• Supportive Team Culture: You are not just another employee. You are part of a team that values respect, accountability, communication, and professional growth.

• People First: Protecting people with care, respect, and practical support.
• Humble Excellence: Doing the work well, remaining coachable, and leading without ego.
• Genuine Integrity: Doing the right thing, reporting honestly, and protecting trust.

You may be a strong fit if these statements are true for you:

• I want to be known as dependable, professional, and trusted to handle the job the right way every time.
• I take pride in my attendance, communication, report writing, and professional appearance.
• I can remain calm, respectful, and alert during routine and tense situations.
• I understand the responsibility that comes with working as an armed professional.
• I want to learn, improve, and build a strong professional foundation.
• I understand that small details at the post can protect people and preserve trust.

You may begin the week by reviewing post orders, uniform standards, access procedures, patrol expectations, and site rules.

You may monitor activity, complete foot patrols, assist residents or visitors, communicate with clients, and document concerns.

You may respond to a site issue, remain calm, gather the facts, and escalate the matter through the appropriate channel.

You may enforce property rules while continuing to treat people with professionalism and respect.

You may receive coaching from a supervisor and use that feedback to improve your field performance.

By the end of the week, your reliability and professionalism should help the site feel safer, clearer, and better supported.
