About the Company: At BBX, your military mindset is an asset—not a footnote. We protect high-profile clients with the same discipline, teamwork, and accountability you lived every day in uniform. You'll step into a clear pathway from residential security fundamentals to GSOC exposure and (if desired) executive protection, guided by mentors who value calm under pressure and quiet professionalism. Our culture is mission-first, low-ego, and built on "lead, mentor, train." You'll get structured training (residential SOPs, de-escalation, report writing, defensive driving, GSOC workflows), medical readiness (CPR/AED/Stop the Bleed), and support to obtain required state credentials (e.g., Guard Card; Exposed Firearm Permit; CCW where applicable). Expect competitive pay aligned to your experience and credentials, steady schedules on long-term accounts, opportunities for special assignments, and clear promotion criteria to Team Lead, EP, or GSOC roles. If you miss the mission but not the chaos, BBX offers a professional home where your service continues—protecting what matters. BBX is a fully insured and licensed global security provider. Our team brings over 50 years of accumulated knowledge and experience in the field of security and defense. We use an internally developed, highly detail-oriented methodology as the basis of our security solutions, which we also teach to security specialists and agencies from around the world. Our team is comprised of elite security experts and each member is equipped with a diverse background and capability. As a team, this enables us to be functional and dynamic, and utilize our knowledge of environmental terrains, regional geopolitical climates, and changing circumstances on the ground to ensure we are never caught off-guard and are able to quickly adapt to any private or public environment. Over the past decade we have created a vast global network of vetted connections with leading transportation, security, logistics, and equipment companies to ensure that our clients are protected and covered in case of an emergency regardless of their location around the world. We are able to tailor comprehensive security solutions and are committed to deliver meticulously detailed, practical, and effective services. We look forward to discussing your needs.
