    Job description

    About CSSI

    Coastal Security Services, Inc. (CSSI) has provided professional security across South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida since 2006. We staff hospitals, K-12 schools, gated residential communities, industrial sites, and major events. Every officer trains through the CSSI Training Academy, and our leadership team is in the field, not behind a desk.

    About the Role

    We are hiring Armed Security Officers for K-12 school campuses in the Savannah, GA area and Sumter, SC. You keep a safe, calm learning environment for students, faculty, and visitors on a weekday, school-calendar schedule.

    This is a standing posting. We hire continuously across our sites in this area, not for one opening. Apply once. If you clear screening, you are placed as soon as a post fits your license, location, and availability. Cleared candidates who are not placed right away stay on file and hear from us first when the next post opens.

    What You Will Do

    • Provide a visible, professional armed presence on your assigned campus
    • Control building and grounds access, screen visitors, and monitor CCTV and alarm systems
    • Conduct foot and vehicle patrols of buildings, perimeters, and parking areas
    • Coordinate with school administration, faculty, and local law enforcement
    • Support emergency drills and school safety protocols
    • Write accurate daily activity reports and incident reports in our mobile reporting system

    Schedule

    Monday through Friday during school hours, following the school calendar. Weekends and school holidays are typically off. Occasional after-hours campus events.

    Pay

    CSSI uses post-based pay: your hourly rate is set by the campus you are assigned to. Armed campus posts in these areas start at $21 per hour, with higher rates at select sites. Overtime is paid at 1.5x for all hours over 40 in a work week.

    Requirements

    • 21 years of age or older
    • Ability to obtain the armed license for the state you will work in, completed through CSSI before placement: Georgia armed guard license for Savannah posts or SC SLED Armed Security Officer Registration for Sumter posts
    • Proficiency with a handgun
    • Must pass state and federal background checks, drug screening, and school district screening
    • High school diploma or GED
    • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
    • Composure under pressure and clear verbal and written communication
    • Able to stand, walk, and patrol for a full shift

    Preferred

    • Prior law enforcement, military, or armed security experience
    • School or campus security experience
    • Crisis intervention or de-escalation training
    • Current CPR/First Aid/AED certification

    What CSSI Offers

    • Weekday, school-calendar schedule with school holidays off
    • Consistent full-time hours with overtime paid at 1.5x over 40 in a work week
    • Training through the CSSI Training Academy at no cost to you
    • Growth path into site supervisor, field coordinator, and district leadership roles
    • A stable, locally led company in business for 20 years
