Event Security Officer

The Gig

This is a part time Event Security Officer role with BEST Crowd Management, based in Queens, NY. You'd be working UTEP events ; think the BTS concert in 2026 and UTEP Miners Football games. The pay runs from $10.50 to $12 an hour.

What You'll Actually Do

• Keep a visible, professional presence that matches what the client and BEST expect.
• Walk assigned areas to discourage unauthorized activity and keep everybody safe.
• Watch access points, do bag checks, screen people coming in, and stay alert for anything suspicious.
• React fast when something happens ; medical emergencies, disturbances, or someone trying to get in who shouldn't be there.
• Work alongside event staff, local law enforcement, and emergency services to coordinate security and fix problems as they come up.
• Help attendees out: answer questions, give directions, make sure people feel taken care of.
• Report any security issues or incidents to the right supervisor, law enforcement, or medical team.
• Write down what you see and do during your shift, then submit that documentation to leadership.
• Follow company policies and procedures so everything stays professional and effective.

What You Need

• Age: At least 18 years old (local rules might change this slightly).
• Education: High school diploma or equivalent; some college is a plus but not required.
• Experience: Previous event security, law enforcement work, or something similar gives you an edge. It's not mandatory though.
• Physical stuff: You need solid physical fitness because you'll be standing or walking for long stretches at a time.
• Cognitive skills: Sharp observation skills are a must. Problem solving matters too ; you can't freeze up when things go sideways.
