Floating Security Officer (Full-Time)

Unarmed Floating Security Officer (Full-Time)

Location: Charlotte, NC 28262

Who We Are

Piedmont Protective Services is a privately owned security company providing professional security services throughout North and South Carolina. We partner with businesses, manufacturers, healthcare providers, residential communities, educational institutions, construction sites, and special events to deliver reliable security solutions tailored to each client's unique needs.

Our leadership team is composed of experienced security professionals and former public safety leaders who have spent their careers supervising personnel, managing complex operations, and serving the communities in which they worked. That experience influences every aspect of our organization, from how we support our employees to how we build lasting partnerships with our clients.

We believe effective security begins with effective leadership. That means providing our officers with clear expectations, ongoing communication, practical training, responsive supervision, and the resources they need to succeed. We recognize that our employees are the foundation of our company, and we are committed to creating a professional environment built on mutual respect, accountability, and open communication. By supporting our officers, we strengthen the service we provide to every client.

Our goal has never been to simply fill positions. Our goal is to build a team of professionals our clients trust and our employees are proud to be part of.

Unlike many companies where decisions are made from a distant corporate office, our leadership team remains actively involved in daily operations. We work closely with our clients, stay connected with our officers, and believe that accessibility, accountability, and responsiveness are essential to building long-term relationships.

Whether you are beginning your career in private security or bringing experience from military service, law enforcement, emergency services, or the security industry, you'll find an organization that values professionalism, continuous improvement, and people who take pride in their work.

At Piedmont Protective Services, we measure success by the trust we earn, the relationships we build, and the quality of service we provide every day.
