About the Role

The position monitors the CCTV system around the clock, responds to automated motion-detection alerts, conducts roving patrols, and serves as the dedicated United States National escort for uncleared vendor and delivery personnel, such as fuel or water deliveries, entering the compound.

 

What You’ll Do in Your New Role

CCTV monitoring

  • Monitor all surveillance feeds during assigned shifts so that coverage is continuous, 24/7, at the assigned site.
  • Respond immediately to automated motion-detection alarms and perimeter breach alerts, and assess and report activity.
  • Clean and test cameras and sensors weekly and after severe weather, and report outages so that no more than one validated interruption over 15 minutes occurs per site per month.
  • Keep the closed-loop video system disconnected from commercial networks and protect recorded footage.

Roving patrols

  • Conduct roving patrols of the compound and pre-positioned assets at least every four hours.
  • Record each patrol, observation and condition in the patrol log.
  • Report damage, tampering, missing property or other abnormal conditions to the Site Manager or Site Lead.

Vendor and delivery escort

  • Log escorted personnel, vehicles and times of entry and exit, with zero escort discrepancies.

Incident reporting and response

  • Report security incidents to the BDOC and COR verbally within 15 minutes and in writing within two hours.
  • Follow the duress protocol with the BDOC and Quick Reaction Force, and take part in drills and exercises.
  • Follow the unarmed, detect-deter-report rules of engagement. Do not carry or use weapons, and do not apprehend, detain or use force against any person; leave all direct intervention to Security Forces or the Quick Reaction Force.
  • Report spills, HAZMAT concerns and safety hazards observed during patrols immediately.

Personnel and administrative

    • Keep SPOT status, recall roster details and training records current.
    • Follow General Orders, installation regulations and professional conduct standards.
    • When cross-utilized, support maintenance or site personnel with assigned tasks while staying reachable by motion-detection alarm.
