As a Gameday/Event Security Officer, you’ll play a key role in creating a safe and enjoyable environment for fans, staff, and guests. This part‑time, event‑based role is ideal for individuals looking to gain/provide experience in security, crowd management, hospitality, or public safety — especially students, early‑career professionals, and those seeking flexible supplemental income. Why This Role Could Be a Great Fit for You You may thrive in this position if you’re looking for a flexible, event‑driven opportunity and can: Commit to working the majority of home games and scheduled events (approximately 85% after hire).

Stay active and engaged for several hours at a time, including walking ramps/stairs and supporting emergency response when needed. Work outdoors in all weather conditions and maintain a professional, calm presence. Reliably get to and from the ballpark — even during extended games, weather delays, or peak traffic. What You’ll Do As part of our event security team, you will: Monitor access points and verify entry credentials for staff, vendors, and authorized personnel. Conduct guest screening using walk‑through and hand‑held metal detectors and perform bag checks. Support crowd flow, address safety concerns, and assist with de‑escalation when needed. Provide exceptional customer service and serve as a welcoming ambassador to fans. Complete incident reports and communicate promptly with supervisors and other departments. Patrol the ballpark, The Battery, and perimeter areas as assigned. Escort employees, players, coaches, VIPs, and guests when required. Participate in post‑event security sweeps and secure restricted areas after games. Carry out additional duties that help create a safe, positive gameday experience.
