WASD Level III — Relief / Floater

Security Alliance is seeking Armed Level III Security Officer to provide relief and floating coverage across our Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department locations in South Miami-Dade County. This is not a fixed-post assignment. The officer fills coverage gaps sector-wide — call-outs, no-shows, vacation, sick days, and short-notice or emergency assignments — and travels between facilities as scheduling requires.

Day-to-day responsibilities

• Stand assigned posts and conduct patrols in accordance with site-specific Post Orders.
• Control access to restricted facilities and verify photo identification of all persons entering.
• Respond to alarms, emergencies, and unusual incidents; take action as directed by Post Orders.
• Investigate suspicious activity and notify law enforcement and WASD Security when warranted.
• Operate a marked patrol vehicle or motorized cart where assigned.
• Maintain daily logs and complete incident and injury reports on approved forms.
• Lock and unlock gates and doors, control lighting, and raise and lower flags at designated times.
• Report safety hazards and maintain a professional presence with staff, contractors, and the public.

Schedule and availability

This role requires genuine schedule flexibility. Candidates who need a fixed shift or a fixed location should apply for a posted assignment instead.

• Available for all shifts, including rotating shifts, weekends, and County-observed holidays.
• Willing to accept reassignment of hours or location at the employer's discretion.
• Reliable independent transportation to travel between facilities.
• Overtime available and expected on occasion.
