Overview

We are seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Static Security Guard to assist in Back of House (BOH) and Loading Dock (L/D) operations at live events. This is a high-visibility, high-responsibility role dealing with guests, artists/tours, employees & management.

What You'll Be Doing

Back of House (BOH)

- Check credentials, wristbands, laminates, and staff/vendor IDs for anyone entering backstage or restricted corridors.
- Watch for suspicious behavior (lurkers, people without visible credentials, unattended bags or cases) and report immediately.
- Maintain clear egress routes; ensure doors and stairwells are not blocked by cases, cables, or catering.
- Coordinate with venue management, production, and tour security on timing for moves, VIP movement, and lockdown periods.
- Prevent friends, fans, or excess staff from congregating at BOH; keep areas "operational only"
- Respond to medical issues or fire alarms in BOH, guide staff and talent to designated exits, and communicate with event command
- Help maintain safe vehicle and pedestrian flow: no standing in blind spots, no unauthorized vehicles idling near bays, and clear fire lanes
- Preserve scenes of incidents (theft, assault, injury), gather basic details, and complete incident reports and logs
- Keep a BOH activity log: unusual behavior, access denials, policy breaches, blocked exits, and equipment left unsecured
- Report broken locks, damaged doors, camera blind spots, or lighting issues that impact BOH security

Loading Dock (L/D)

- Verify all visitors against the load-in/out schedule or manifest before granting entry




- Monitor trucks while stagehands and crew are loading/unloading to deter theft or tampering
- Conduct bag searches and metal detector screening for crew, staff, and vendors entering through the dock, as required
- Watch for unauthorized individuals approaching the load, taking photos of equipment, or attempting to remove cases without clear authorization
- Control doors and gates between dock and BOH corridors; ensure only badged or credentialed staff and crew move equipment inside
- Respond to accidents at the dock (falls, injuries) by calling Medics, applying basic first aid within your training, and securing the area
