Confidential employer | Manhattan, New York, NY Full-time On-site $ 18 - 25 per hour
A Security Guard in Manhattan helps maintain a safe and orderly environment by monitoring assigned areas, observing for unusual activity, and responding to routine incidents according to site procedures. Typical duties include controlling access points, checking credentials when required, conducting regular patrols, documenting incidents, and communicating clearly with visitors, staff, or emergency contacts as needed. The role may also involve reporting hazards, supporting crowd movement, and using radios or other standard security equipment. Candidates should have basic reading and writing skills, the ability to follow instructions, good judgment, and steady attention to detail. Prior security experience is helpful but not always required if the individual can learn site-specific procedures and maintain a professional presence. Physical demands can include standing or walking for extended periods and occasionally climbing stairs or performing light lifting. The schedule is full time and may include day, evening, overnight, weekend, or holiday coverage depending on operational needs.
