About The Position

Security done right. Leadership built from within. At GCI Security, we don’t just post guards — we empower protectors. As an unarmed security officer, you’ll play a critical role in delivering worry-free protection to the people and places we serve. Whether stationed at a residential neighborhood, retail store, or office building, your presence will provide peace of mind through professionalism, visibility, and vigilance. Our officers are the frontline ambassadors of our mission: to protect with purpose and represent our values every shift. Starting Pay: $17.00-18.00 per hour (depending on site and experience) with unlimited long-term earnings potential as part of GCI’s Fast-Track Leadership Program. This is more than a job — it’s a launchpad. We’re actively looking for individuals with the ambition to rise through the ranks into leadership, operations, and executive-level roles within our rapidly growing company. We’re building a team of growth-minded professionals, not just shift-fillers.
