Security Officer, Full-time
About The Position
The Senator John Heinz History Center is seeking a Full-time, Security Officer to work in our Security Booth, Sunday through Thursday, 3PM – 11PM. While these are the primary hours for this position, flexibility is expected as History Center business dictates. As the first and last point of contact in the building, the Booth Security Guard is responsible for monitoring and executing security procedures ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of the facilities, facilities’ contents, staff, and patrons. Security Officers must be friendly yet firm and responsive to the needs of all customers – at night, mostly via phone. The Officer may be questioned by the public on a number of topics regarding theHistory Center – directions within, amenities, exhibit components, and facilities. The officer observes and operates security systems such as cameras, fire and burglar alarms. The officer also assists with overall risk management – locating, correcting and/or reporting threats of all kinds to the organization. The position demands that the officer maintain a working knowledge of the History Center exhibits, programs, and emergency response protocols while providing extraordinary customer service/interactions. Since this Officer at times may be the only person in the building, a high degree of attentiveness and pro-activity will be necessary. This is a full-time, hourly position reporting to the Chief of Security.
