Job Description

Description :

Precision Security Team is a veteran-owned and operated company proudly serving northern Colorado and surrounding areas. Since our establishment in 2018, we have experienced remarkable growth, earning the trust of local government agencies, schools, critical infrastructure sites, event organizers, and more. Based in the region stretching from Denver, CO, to Cheyenne, WY, we are committed to excellence in security services.

We take pride in hiring veterans, former law enforcement personnel, and first responders and strongly encourage individuals with such backgrounds to apply. However, we are equally committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. Precision Security Team is an equal-opportunity employer, and all candidates are evaluated based on their qualifications, without discrimination or bias.

Every Security Officer at Precision Security Team is entrusted with delivering an exceptional experience for our clients while safeguarding their interests. It is essential to uphold the company’s professional image at all times—whether interacting with clients, the public, or law enforcement.

As a member of our team, you are expected to embody and demonstrate Precision Security Team’s core values and code of conduct in all aspects of your work. At Precision Security Team, we value leadership development. High-performing team members may have opportunities to take on expanded responsibilities or be considered for future senior leadership roles.

As an Operations Manager with Precision Security Team, you will be a motivated leader with a proven track record of managing operations and personnel effectively. You will play a key role in overseeing day-to-day security operations, implementing strategic initiatives, and fostering a culture of excellence within the team. Every employee at Precision Security Team owns the client's experience. It is of the utmost importance to uphold Precision Security Team’s professional image to the client, the public, and law enforcement at all times. It is imperative that you practice and demonstrate Precision Security Team’s core values and code of conduct each and every day.

This position reports directly to the Senior Operations Manager and will supervise a team of on-site supervisors and security officers across multiple locations in Northern Colorado area. Company vehicles are available for site visits and other work-related travel.

While this role includes some office-based responsibilities, daily field presence is essential. Regular visits to assigned contract sites are a key part of the position, ensuring oversight, support, and direct engagement with team members and clients. This position may require occasional availability after standard business hours, including overnights, to respond to urgent operational needs, support field personnel, or coordinate emergency responses.

Critical Roles of the Position :

Leadership and Management :

  • Provide leadership, guidance, and direction to security personnel, ensuring they are properly trained, motivated, and equipped to perform their duties effectively.
  • Lead by example, promoting a positive work environment conducive to teamwork, collaboration, and high performance.
  • Oversee the day-to-day operations of multiple security sites, ensuring compliance with company policies, procedures, and standards.
  • Conduct regular site visits to assess performance, address concerns, and support on-site supervisors and security personnel.

Staffing and Deployment :

  • Coordinate recruitment, selection, and training of security personnel for assigned sites, ensuring compliance with licensing and certification requirements.
  • Develop and maintain staffing schedules to provide adequate coverage for all sites, adapting to operational demands and resource availability.
  • Implement efficient deployment strategies to optimize manpower utilization and respond promptly to emergent security situations.
  • Training and Development :

  • Schedule and conduct regular training sessions and drills to enhance the skills and preparedness of security teams, fostering continuous learning and improvement.
  • Ensure all security personnel, including yourself, meet or exceed credentialing and training requirements as specified by company policy and client needs.
  • Performance and Risk Management :

  • Conduct performance evaluations, provide regular feedback and coaching, and recognize achievements to foster staff development.
  • Manage resources effectively, including staffing levels, equipment, and budget allocation.
  • Identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities at assigned sites, develop mitigation strategies, and implement proactive measures to enhance security and minimize threats.
  • Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements, industry standards, and contractual obligations while maintaining accurate records and documentation.
  • Client Relations :

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for client inquiries, concerns, and feedback, ensuring a professional and responsive approach.
  • Collaborate with clients to understand their security needs and develop customized solutions to meet their requirements effectively.
  • Conduct investigations, resolve security incidents, and implement corrective actions in collaboration with clients to prevent recurrence.
  • This role requires daily use of tools such as workforce management systems, scheduling software, incident reporting platforms, and company communication apps. Familiarity with platforms like Silvertrac, Microsoft Office Suite, and Google Workspace, are strongly preferred.

    Company Core Values :

  • Integrity : In all we do, at every level.
  • Commitment : To our team, our clients, our community.
  • Development : Professionally, personally, collectively; always improving.
  • Pay : This W2, salaried (exempt) position pays $58,000-$63,000 annually, depending on experience. Employees who work 30 or more hours a week are eligible for health benefits such as medical, dental, vision, life, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance. Colorado offers additional benefits to all employees, including paid sick leave, the Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program, which provides paid leave, and a secure savings option through a Roth IRA program. This position is eligible to accrue PTO.

    What to Expect in Our Hiring Process : Our hiring process begins with a careful review of applications to identify candidates who align with our company's needs and values. If your application stands out, you will be contacted for an initial phone screening. Successful candidates will then be invited to an in-person interview with the hiring manager and key members of our leadership team.

    Important Notes About the Application and Interview Process :

  • Screener questions are a critical part of the evaluation process. Responses will be scored based on completeness, clarity, proper grammar, and written communication.
  • Do not write “see resume,” “N / A,” or “can be discussed during the interview.” Incomplete or vague responses will result in automatic disqualification.
  • We are looking for thoughtful, well-written answers that provide specific examples and demonstrate your qualifications and critical thinking.
  • Use the S.T.A.R. Technique : During the interview, we encourage you to use the S.T.A.R. method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to answer behavioral questions. This approach helps you organize your thoughts and communicate your experience in a structured, impactful way—giving us the best view of your skills and how you’ve applied them in real-world situations.

    Professional Appearance : First impressions matter. For in-person interviews, please arrive on time, well-groomed, and dressed in clean, professional attire. A polished appearance shows respect for the opportunity and our team.

    Please note : Failure to follow this instruction may result in disqualification , as it reflects an inability to follow directions—something we consider an important part of the role.

    Should you advance past the interview stage, a conditional job offer may be extended. Upon acceptance, we will initiate a background check and begin the online onboarding process.

    PST adheres to a hands-off approach whenever possible, prioritizing verbal de-escalation and conflict resolution techniques. The only instance where physical intervention is appropriate is if an individual poses an immediate physical threat to themselves, others, or you. Acceptable physical intervention techniques will be taught during our mandatory Phase I training.

    Employment with Precision Security Team is "at-will," meaning that either the employee or the company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice, as permitted by Colorado law.
