About This Role
Job Overview
This is a front of house security role with a strong service angle ; think less traditional guard work, more of a professional presence. You’re the first person people see when they walk in the door, and you set the tone for the entire building. In Pasadena, CA, this often means working in upscale commercial towers, luxury residential buildings, or corporate lobbies where appearance and demeanor matter just as much as security protocol. The core job: keep people safe while making them feel welcomed.

- Greet and screen visitors. You’ll manage check in procedures using visitor management software. Issue badges, verify appointments, and handle walk ins without disrupting foot traffic flow.
- Monitor surveillance systems. Keep an eye on camera feeds and alarm panels. Spot anything off before it becomes an issue ; then radio it in calmly.
- Enforce access control. Ensure only authorized personnel enter restricted zones. This means checking credentials, managing keycard systems, and turning away unverified individuals politely but firmly.
- Respond to incidents. Medical emergencies, fire alarms, disruptive behavior ; you’re the first responder on site until police or EMS arrive. Write clear incident reports afterward.
- Provide concierge level service. Direct deliveries, assist tenants with basic requests (like jump starts or lockouts), and maintain a polished lobby environment that reflects well on the property management team.
