Job Description

If you are driven to deliver exceptional fan experiences that are beyond anything possible elsewhere and interested in working alongside a team of innovators and enthusiastic over-achievers, you will enjoy working with us!

Join the team that keeps the ballpark safe, energetic, and running smoothly on gameday.
As a Gameday/Event Security Officer, you’ll play a key role in creating a safe and enjoyable environment for fans, staff, and guests. This part‑time, event‑based role is ideal for individuals looking to gain/provide experience in security, crowd management, hospitality, or public safety — especially students, early‑career professionals, and those seeking flexible supplemental income.

Why This Role Could Be a Great Fit for You

You may thrive in this position if you’re looking for a flexible, event‑driven opportunity and can:

  • Commit to working the majority of home games and scheduled events (approximately 85% after hire).
  • Provide availability for early evening weekday shifts (most shifts begin around 5:00 PM) and weekend events.
  • Stay active and engaged for several hours at a time, including walking ramps/stairs and supporting emergency response when needed.
  • Work outdoors in all weather conditions and maintain a professional, calm presence.
  • Reliably get to and from the ballpark — even during extended games, weather delays, or peak traffic.

What You’ll Do

As part of our event security team, you will:

  • Monitor access points and verify entry credentials for staff, vendors, and authorized personnel.
  • Conduct guest screening using walk‑through and hand‑held metal detectors and perform bag checks.
  • Support crowd flow, address safety concerns, and assist with de‑escalation when needed.
  • Provide exceptional customer service and serve as a welcoming ambassador to fans.
  • Complete incident reports and communicate promptly with supervisors and other departments.
  • Patrol the ballpark, The Battery, and perimeter areas as assigned.
  • Escort employees, players, coaches, VIPs, and guests when required.
  • Participate in post‑event security sweeps and secure restricted areas after games.
  • Carry out additional duties that help create a safe, positive gameday experience.

Qualifications

We’re looking for individuals who bring professionalism, dependability, and strong people skills:

Required

  • High School Diploma or equivalent.
  • Strong verbal communication and customer‑service skills.
  • Ability to stand/walk for long periods and remain calm in fast‑paced or high‑stress situations.
  • Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays based on the event calendar.
  • Ability to pass a criminal background check.

Preferred

  • Prior security, military, law enforcement, customer service, or hospitality experience.
  • Training or familiarity with access control, metal detection, and basic search procedures.
  • Conflict‑resolution or de‑escalation skills.
  • Students majoring in Criminal Justice, Criminology, Sociology, or Public Safety (Juniors and Seniors strongly encouraged to apply).
  • Additional certifications (e.g., P.O.S.T., security training) are a plus but not required.

What This Role Offers

  • A chance to build real‑world experience in security, emergency response, and crowd management.
  • Flexible, event‑based scheduling that fits around school or another job.
  • An opportunity to contribute to the energy and excitement of live sports and entertainment.
  • A team environment with room to learn, develop, and grow.
