Company Description
Securitas plays a crucial role in society and manages one of Sweden's most important missions - to protect and help people feel safe. Now you have the chance to become part of Sweden's largest security company. Whether you want to work a lot or a little, day or night, we need more people.
As the country's largest employer in our industry, we can offer you development opportunities and variety that few other companies can match. We strive for unified leadership with a balance between expectations and conditions. You take care of people's safety - Securitas takes care of you.
Job Description
Do you want to make a difference? If you are not already a trained security guard, Securitas will fund your training before employment.
As a patrol guard, your primary task is to deliver safety to our customers - mainly at industries, offices, and workshops - by protecting property and buildings against fire, theft, and damage. Typically, you will manage alarm systems and report using a computerized patrol information system. The work is independent and often feels free, but with great responsibility.
As a stationary guard, your primary task is to deliver safety to one of our customers by being attentive and ensuring everything is in order. Often, you will work at the entrance of a large company, checking those entering and exiting, but you may also perform patrols and camera surveillance. Work tasks vary from customer to customer. You work independently and under your own responsibility.
These positions are suitable for those who enjoy working with people and helping them in their daily lives. As a guard at our office in Avesta, you will become part of a tight-knit team of 50 people. Work tasks are highly varied, and as a guard, you can work both indoors and outdoors, day or night. Shift lengths differ but are often 12-hour shifts either during the day or night. Since we are a business operating every day of the year, working every other weekend is common.
We are safety. We are Securitas.
Requirements:
• Approved grades in Swedish and English from the first year of high school
• B driver's license
Meritorious if you:
• Have worked with similar tasks previously
• Have a civilian or military security guard training
We believe you are service-oriented, calm, and organized, and can handle occasional high work tempo. You are interested in technology and quickly understand instructions. We seek an independent person who trusts their own abilities, quickly understands problems, and solves them creatively. You have a systematic and thorough approach with an eye for detail. Great importance will be placed on your personal suitability for the position.
Taking responsibility comes naturally to you - you are simply an honest, helpful, and vigilant person who makes people around you feel safe.
