Dependable People. Professional Security. Stronger Client Partnerships.

Enterprise Security Services Corporation is seeking trustworthy and attentive individuals to join our team as Unarmed Security Officers serving Salisbury and nearby communities on Maryland's Eastern Shore. As a women-owned and minority-owned security services provider with more than 30 years of industry experience, we recognize the importance of having officers who arrive prepared, remain alert, and carry out their responsibilities with consistency. We are looking for candidates who take their assignments seriously and understand that reliable security coverage starts with professionalism and attention to detail. Whether you already have security experience or are interested in entering the field, we invite you to explore this opportunity.

Officers will help protect client properties throughout the Salisbury area, including retail locations, commercial properties, and comparable sites. Because assignments are coordinated around client coverage requirements, your designated worksite may vary.
The ideal candidate is dependable, punctual, and comfortable traveling to different locations within the service area. Maintaining a professional presence and following the procedures established for each property are essential parts of the role.

You will help safeguard assigned locations by staying observant, following security procedures, and communicating relevant information promptly.

• Maintain an active security presence: Help discourage theft, unauthorized entry, and other unwanted activity through visible, attentive coverage.

• Inspect assigned premises: Patrol interior spaces and exterior areas to identify potential hazards, suspicious behavior, or security weaknesses.

• Monitor access points: Observe entrances and other designated areas, following the access-control procedures established for the site.

• Provide courteous assistance: Interact professionally with customers, employees, and visitors while addressing routine questions appropriately.

• Follow incident response procedures: Respond to emergencies and security incidents in accordance with site instructions and established protocols.

• Observe and communicate concerns: Report unusual activity identified during patrols or through available surveillance systems.

• Keep complete records: Prepare accurate daily activity logs and incident reports to document observations, events, and actions taken.

We are seeking applicants who demonstrate sound judgment, consistent attendance, and a professional approach to their work.

• Have dependable transportation to reach assigned locations throughout the Salisbury area.

• Demonstrate punctuality, reliability, and professional conduct.

• Be able to stand and walk for extended periods.

Experience is welcome, but not mandatory. Previous security experience is an advantage; candidates without a security background are also encouraged to apply if they meet the applicable eligibility requirements.

We offer several opportunities for officers seeking consistent work and the flexibility to pursue additional assignments.

• Weekly pay: Compensation follows the company's established payroll cycle.

• Availability-based scheduling: Shift opportunities are coordinated around officer availability and client coverage requirements.

• Additional shifts: Officers may be able to accept open shifts at other client properties when available.

Hourly pay rates and specific scheduling arrangements can be discussed during the recruitment process.

A clean, professional Class A black uniform is required. Candidates must be able to obtain the necessary uniform for their assignments. Radios may be provided based on the operational requirements of the assigned location.

Officers are expected to maintain appropriate appearance standards and follow all applicable site and company procedures.
