About this role

Walden Security is hiring a Flex/Utility Officer to provide flexible security coverage across multiple client sites in Charlotte. In this role, you'll be trained to work various posts and shifts, stepping in on short notice to cover call-offs and vacations. Your responsibilities span traditional security work—patrolling buildings, grounds, and public areas; monitoring for fire hazards and safety violations; checking that doors, windows, and gates are secure; and responding to alarms by investigating sources and contacting emergency services when needed. You'll also handle traffic control at entrances, interview guests and employees about incidents, document findings in reports, and apprehend unauthorized persons when necessary.

This position requires flexibility and reliability above all else. You need to be available for any shift and ready to work with minimal notice. A high school diploma or GED is the baseline requirement, along with a valid driver's license if assigned to a driving post. Depending on your state and specific assignments, you may need to obtain or already hold a state security officer license, weapons certification, and an armed license. The work is physically active—you'll spend significant time standing and walking, with occasional lifting of up to 25 pounds. The pay range is $16 to $18 per hour for full-time employment.

This role suits someone seeking steady security work who values schedule flexibility and doesn't mind rotating between different client locations and assignments. It's a good entry point into professional security if you meet the licensing requirements for your state, and Walden indicates opportunities for career growth within the company.
