Security Guard
Employer: Brosnan Security
Location: New York, NY (Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan, Queens)
Pay: $15.00–$18.40 / hr
Type: Full-time — In-person (mall, bank, corporate, and construction-site posts)
What You’ll Do
-
Provide visible security presence and customer-facing support at assigned sites (shopping malls, banks, corporate offices, construction sites).
-
Monitor entrances, perform patrols, report incidents, and follow post orders and incident-reporting procedures.
-
Control access, assist with crowd management, and liaise with building staff, tenants, or law enforcement as required.
-
For construction-site posts, follow OSHA/site-specific safety requirements (some roles mention OSHA-30).
-
Work varied shifts including overnights; follow scheduling and coverage needs.
Why It Stands Out
-
Immediate hiring needs through a Workforce1 partnership — good if you want quick placement.
-
Multiple site types (retail, bank, corporate, construction) offer variety and the chance to build diverse security experience.
-
Options for overnight work and staffing across boroughs if you’re flexible and need hours.
Potential Trade-offs
-
Pay is entry-level for NYC — compare with local living costs and shift differentials.
-
Expect variable hours and possible overnight or weekend shifts depending on the post.
-
Must meet licensing/training requirements before starting (see qualifications).

Active New York State Security Guard license and completion of required 8- or 16-hour security training/certification.

GED or high school diploma.

Strong customer-service and communication skills; full-time open availability required.

Some posts (manhattan construction sites) may require OSHA-30 or equivalent.
Perks / Benefits

On-the-job experience that can lead to higher-responsibility security or loss-prevention roles.
