About this role
As a security guard at Avarn Security, you'll experience an exciting daily routine where your task is to strengthen our customers' sense of security and promote a safer environment.
A patrolling guard works with preventive security. You'll be vehicle-based and visit customers in your district/area to, among other things, check that alarms are activated, windows and doors are closed and locked, electrical equipment is turned off, and no unauthorized persons are present on the property/area. Patrol security is performed both indoors and outdoors, mostly at night, and you'll work in shifts. The work is independent and mobile.
In stationary security, you work on-site with the customer. This can involve everything from reception work to patrolling and staffing security centers. We believe in taking responsibility, cooperation, and showing care for colleagues and the world around us. We aim to be role models for others. Your previous life experiences are interesting, and you'll have the opportunity to use and develop them with us.
