Supervisor - Protection Services We are looking for a hands-on Protection Services Supervisor to help protect our employees, facilities, assets, information, and business operations across four Washington locations. This position will lead the day-to-day work of Security Officers while also participating directly in site security activities. At our Quincy site, this is a working-supervisor assignment where one Protection Services employee is typically staffed at a time, so you will move between supervisory responsibilities and frontline duties throughout the shift. Because the facilities are unfenced and ungated, you will maintain strong situational awareness and take a proactive approach to identifying unusual activity, safety concerns, and operational irregularities. While the products handled at these facilities have not historically attracted significant theft activity, consistent observation and sound judgment remain essential. You will coach employees, manage performance, support training, review incidents, conduct inspections, and coordinate emergency and alarm responses. You will also build productive relationships with site employees, operational leaders, emergency responders, and law enforcement partners. This role is well suited for someone who enjoys leading people, making thoughtful decisions, and remaining actively involved in daily operations.
A typical day may include:
Conducting interior and exterior patrols and site inspections
Monitoring an open facility environment for unusual activity or operational concerns
Working at the security desk, answering phones, and responding to employee requests
Managing access needs, including opening secured areas for authorized individuals
Responding to emergencies, alarms, safety concerns, and unexpected events
Documenting, reviewing, and investigating incidents
Reviewing Security Officer reports and completing supervisory documentation
Coaching employees on policies, procedures, performance expectations, and professional development
Managing schedules, daily assignments, goals, and performance activities
Supporting the hiring and onboarding of new Security Officers
Delivering or coordinating training in CPR, First Aid, AED, fire extinguisher response, and related topics
Monitoring production operations for irregularities, malfunctions, or issues requiring follow-up
Completing local compliance activities and leading incident investigations
Coordinating with law enforcement or emergency response agencies when appropriate
Supporting Protection Services projects, process improvements, and department initiatives
Traveling between Quincy, Ephrata, Trout Lake West and East Farms based on operational needs
Providing consultation or response support when significant operational needs arise
Required Qualifications:
Associate degree in Criminal Justice, Fire Sciences, Security Management, Business Administration, or a related field
At least three years of related experience in security, fire services, law enforcement, or a comparable protection services environment
First Aid, CPR, and AED certification, or ability to meet the organization's certification requirements
Experience guiding, coaching, training, or leading employees
Understanding of protection services practices, site emergency planning, and emergency preparedness
Experience interacting with local, state, federal, or other law enforcement agencies
Experience responding to incidents, alarms, safety concerns, or emergency situations
Ability to use standard office technology and security-related systems
Valid driver's license
Ability to obtain and maintain a Washington Concealed Pistol License
Ability to travel between assigned Washington sites
Ability to meet the role's physical requirements, with or without reasonable accommodation, including standing and walking for extended periods, walking distances of up to one mile, bending, crouching, kneeling, reaching, and occasionally lifting up to 25 pounds
Ability to provide consultation or response support based on operational needs
Skills to Be Successful in the Role:
Proactive observation and situational awareness
Calm and thoughtful decision-making
Hands-on, service-oriented leadership
Clear verbal and written communication
Employee coaching and performance management
Training and presentation skills
Emergency preparedness and incident response
Investigation and documentation skills
Sound judgment when working independently
