Job Description

Who We Are

Piedmont Protective Services is a privately owned security company providing professional security services throughout North and South Carolina. We partner with businesses, manufacturers, healthcare providers, residential communities, educational institutions, construction sites, and special events to deliver reliable security solutions tailored to each client's unique needs.

Our leadership team is composed of experienced security professionals and former public safety leaders who have spent their careers supervising personnel, managing complex operations, and serving the communities in which they worked. That experience influences every aspect of our organization, from how we support our employees to how we build lasting partnerships with our clients.

We believe effective security begins with effective leadership. That means providing our officers with clear expectations, ongoing communication, practical training, responsive supervision, and the resources they need to succeed. We recognize that our employees are the foundation of our company, and we are committed to creating a professional environment built on mutual respect, accountability, and open communication. By supporting our officers, we strengthen the service we provide to every client.

Our goal has never been to simply fill positions. Our goal is to build a team of professionals our clients trust and our employees are proud to be part of.

Unlike many companies where decisions are made from a distant corporate office, our leadership team remains actively involved in daily operations. We work closely with our clients, stay connected with our officers, and believe that accessibility, accountability, and responsiveness are essential to building long-term relationships.

Whether you are beginning your career in private security or bringing experience from military service, law enforcement, emergency services, or the security industry, you'll find an organization that values professionalism, continuous improvement, and people who take pride in their work.

At Piedmont Protective Services, we measure success by the trust we earn, the relationships we build, and the quality of service we provide every day.

About This Position

Flex Security Officers provide coverage at multiple client locations throughout the area, helping meet staffing needs, cover absences, and support new assignments. Duties and work environments vary by site, and officers are expected to follow post orders and meet the requirements of each assignment.

Every client and assignment is different, and we believe applicants should understand the work environment before applying. Some positions involve frequent interaction with employees, visitors, customers, or residents throughout the day, while others are better suited for officers who prefer working independently with limited public contact. Our goal is to match the right officer with the right assignment whenever possible, creating a positive experience for both our employees and our clients.

Flex Security Officers should expect to:

• Work security assignments at different client locations based on scheduling and operational needs.
• Conduct foot patrols and maintain a visible, professional security presence.
• Monitor entrances, exits, and access control points as required by the assignment.
• Greet and assist employees, visitors, customers, and contractors professionally.
• Observe and report suspicious activity, safety hazards, security concerns, and policy violations.
• Complete accurate daily activity reports and incident documentation.
• Respond appropriately to alarms, emergencies, and other security-related incidents.
• Learn and follow site-specific post orders, procedures, and client expectations.
• Perform additional security responsibilities as assigned.

Scheduling and Availability

Flex Security Officers work varying schedules at multiple client locations based on operational needs and their employment classification.

• Hours Vary based on submitted availability and operational needs. No minimum hours are guaranteed.
• Officers are generally scheduled for no more than 32 hours per workweek unless approved by management or required by operational needs.
• Officers must work at least two scheduled shifts each calendar month unless otherwise approved by management.

Scheduling Expectations

Officers must submit accurate availability every Monday by 2:00 p.m. for the upcoming schedule week, including available days, specific hours, and the maximum number of shifts they can work.

Officers are expected to honor their availability, fulfill assigned or confirmed shifts, and promptly communicate scheduling conflicts in accordance with Company procedures.

As a contract security provider, work schedules are based on our clients' operational needs. While we strive to provide consistency whenever possible, scheduling flexibility is an essential part of this position. Additional hours, overtime opportunities, and schedule adjustments may become available based on client requirements and operational needs.

Compensation

Starting Pay: $17.00 per hour

Compensation is based on the assigned position, licensing requirements, experience, qualifications, certifications, and the specific responsibilities of the assignment.

At Piedmont Protective Services, we recognize and reward professionalism, reliability, initiative, and outstanding performance. As our company continues to grow, employees who demonstrate leadership, accountability, and a commitment to excellence are encouraged to pursue opportunities for advancement within the organization.

Who Will Succeed Here

This assignment is best suited for someone who enjoys variety, adapts quickly to different work environments, and reliably follows through on scheduling commitments.

Successful Flex Security Officers are:

• Dependable and punctual.
• Professional in appearance and demeanor.
• Observant and detail oriented.
• Comfortable making sound decisions independently.
• Effective communicators.
• Customer service oriented.
• Calm under pressure.
• Proud of the work they perform.

While previous security, military, or public safety experience is valuable, we place equal importance on integrity, professionalism, reliability, and a willingness to learn. We can teach site procedures and job responsibilities. The character, work ethic, and attitude you bring to the position are what set exceptional officers apart.

Minimum Qualifications

Applicants must meet the following minimum qualifications:

• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Possess a valid driver's license.
• Have reliable transportation.
• Be legally authorized to work in the United States.
• Successfully complete all required background screenings and drug testing, when applicable.
• Possess, or be able to obtain, all licenses and certifications required by North Carolina and/or South Carolina for the position.
• Possess strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Be able to stand, walk, and perform routine patrols for extended periods, as required by the assignment.

Additional qualifications may apply depending on the client’s assignment.
