Unarmed FLEX Security Officer (Evening/Overnight)

UNARMED FLEX SECURITY OFFICER - EVENING & OVERNIGHT COVERAGE

GCI Security, Inc. | St. Louis, Missouri
$20.00/hour | 2nd & 3rd Shift Availability Required | 16-32 Hours Per Week

Be the Officer We Can Count On When Coverage Changes.

Security schedules do not always go according to plan. Officers call off, clients need extra coverage, and open shifts need to be filled quickly.

GCI Security is hiring Unarmed Flex Security Officers to help us cover those gaps throughout the St. Louis area.

This is not a position where you will report to the same site on the same schedule every week. Flex Officers are part of our coverage team. You may fill in for a full-time officer who is off, cover an open position while we hire or train someone, assist with temporary coverage needs, or be assigned wherever your availability is needed most.

Because of that, we pay Flex Officers $20.00/hour.

Flex Officers should expect approximately 2-4 shift assignments per week, or 16-32 hours, based on available coverage needs. You must have availability for both 2nd and 3rd shifts and weekend coverage to qualify for this position.

If you are dependable, adaptable, comfortable working at different properties, and want part-time hours without being tied to one permanent post, you may be a strong fit
