Description :

Precision Security Team is a veteran-owned and operated company proudly serving northern Colorado and surrounding areas. Since our establishment in 2018, we have experienced remarkable growth, earning the trust of local government agencies, schools, critical infrastructure sites, event organizers, and more. Based in the region stretching from Denver, CO, to Cheyenne, WY, we are committed to excellence in security services.

We take pride in hiring veterans, former law enforcement personnel, and first responders and strongly encourage individuals with such backgrounds to apply. However, we are equally committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. Precision Security Team is an equal-opportunity employer, and all candidates are evaluated based on their qualifications, without discrimination or bias.

As an Armed Security Officer at Precision Security Team, you will play a key role in maintaining a safe and secure environment for the public at your assigned location. Your responsibilities will include addressing security concerns and handling requests as needed to ensure the safety and satisfaction of clients and the community.

Every Security Officer at Precision Security Team is entrusted with delivering an exceptional experience for our clients while safeguarding their interests. It is essential to uphold the company’s professional image at all times—whether interacting with clients, the public, or law enforcement.

As a member of our team, you are expected to embody and demonstrate Precision Security Team’s core values and code of conduct in all aspects of your work.

Schedule : 7 : 00 am-3 : 30 pm Monday through Friday for a total of 40 hours. Please do not apply if this does not work with your availability.

Critical Roles of the Position :

  • Exceptional Communication Skills : The security officer must possess strong verbal and interpersonal communication skills to interact effectively with the public, client staff, and other professionals. This includes the ability to provide clear instructions, answer questions courteously, and de-escalate situations when necessary.
  • Team-Oriented Collaboration : The ability to work collaboratively as part of a security team is essential. Officers must coordinate seamlessly with colleagues, client personnel, and law enforcement to maintain a safe and secure environment.
  • Keen Attention to Detail in Security Procedures : Officers are responsible for performing thorough searches and wanding procedures to detect prohibited items. This requires a high level of attention to detail to ensure compliance with security protocols and the safety of all occupants.
  • Confidentiality and Discretion : Officers must uphold strict confidentiality regarding site proceedings. Signing and adhering to Precision Security Team (PST) confidentiality agreements is mandatory to protect the integrity of client operations.
  • Cultural Competence and Professionalism : The ability to interact respectfully and professionally with individuals from diverse backgrounds is critical. Officers must maintain a courteous and impartial demeanor when engaging with members of the public, client teams, and other stakeholders, regardless of the situation.

Precision Security Team or the client can assign other duties to you as necessary at any time.

Mandatory Requirements :

  • Physical Endurance : Candidates must be comfortable standing and walking for extended periods, as the role requires maintaining a visible and active presence throughout the site to ensure security and safety.
  • Extensive Background Investigation : Applicants must successfully pass a comprehensive background investigation conducted by the Larimer County Sheriff's Department. This investigation will assess criminal history, employment records, and other factors to ensure suitability for the role.
  • Adherence to Grooming Standards : Officers must comply with the Larimer County Sheriff Department’s grooming standards to maintain a professional appearance that reflects the department’s values and expectations.
  • Certification in CJIS : The ability to obtain certification in Colorado’s Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) is mandatory. This involves completing required training and demonstrating a thorough understanding of the secure handling of sensitive information.
  • Drug Screening Requirement : Candidates must pass a drug screening to ensure they meet the department’s standards for substance-free employment.
  • Preferred Background in Law Enforcement or Military : While not required, prior experience in law enforcement or the military is highly preferred, as it provides valuable skills and training relevant to the position.
  • Firearms Experience : Previous experience with firearms is a mandatory qualification. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of firearm safety, handling, and operation.
  • PST Pistol Qualification : Applicants must successfully pass the Precision Security Team (PST) pistol qualification to ensure proficiency in firearm use as required for armed security duties.

  • Pay : This W2 position pays $23.00 / hour. Employees who work 30 or more hours a week are eligible for health benefits such as medical, dental, vision, life, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance. Colorado offers additional benefits to all employees, including the Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program, which provides paid leave, and a secure savings option through a Roth IRA program.

    Hiring Process : Assessments will be scored based on answering the question, and proper use of grammar and written communication. Please do not write "see resume" or "can be discussed during the interview" as your answer. We are looking for answers with specific examples and / or thorough, multiple sentence answers to the questions.

    Our hiring process begins with a thorough review of resumes to identify candidates who align well with our company’s needs. If your resume stands out, you will receive a call for an initial phone screen. Following a successful phone screen, we will invite you to an in-person interview with the hiring manager and other relevant management team members.

    During the interview, we ask that you use the S.T.A.R. technique. The STAR technique is a structured method used to answer behavioral interview questions by clearly outlining a Situation, Task, Action, and Result. This approach helps candidates provide comprehensive and well-organized responses that showcase their skills and experiences effectively, and helps candidates provide answers that are coherent, concise, and impactful, making it easier for interviewers to assess their competencies and fit for the role. Should you advance past this stage, a job offer will be extended to you. After the offer is accepted, we conduct a background check and proceed with online onboarding.

    We will review your application and reach out if we think you're a good match. Due to a high volume of applications, please refrain from calling to inquire about the status of your application; failure to follow this direction will reject your application, as it shows that you may not follow directions and / or read things all the way through.

    To ensure full consideration, applications must be submitted by January 24, 2025.

    PST adheres to a hands-off approach whenever possible, prioritizing verbal de-escalation and conflict resolution techniques. The only instance where physical intervention is appropriate is if an individual poses an immediate physical threat to themselves, others, or you. Acceptable physical intervention techniques will be taught during our mandatory Phase I training.

    Employment with Precision Security Team is "at-will," meaning that either the employee or the company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice, as permitted by Colorado law. This at-will employment relationship cannot be altered or modified except by a written agreement signed by both the employee and an authorized representative of the company.

    All knowledge about a site's staff, customers, products, events, procedures, facilities, etc. must remain confidential. Any improper public or personal disclosure will result in discipline up to and including termination.
