Pilot/escort assignments start at $15.50 per hour; a company vehicle, fuel card, and necessary work equipment are provided. Security officer assignments start at $15 per hour and include checking credentials, monitoring secured locations, keeping logs, communicating with personnel, reporting incidents, and providing CPR and First Aid when necessary. Most security posts are in heated and air-conditioned guard shacks. Mobile patrol assignments start at $16 per hour, with potentially higher starting wages based on relevant experience and qualifications; company vehicles and fuel cards are provided for work assignments.

The schedule consists of 12-hour shifts on a two-week rotation: three shifts (36 hours) in Week 1 and four shifts (48 hours) in Week 2, for 84 scheduled hours every two weeks. Eight overtime hours are built into each rotation. Day and night opportunities depend on assignment and openings, and additional overtime may be available based on operational needs.
