As a security supervisor, you lead the guards on one or more sites. You draw up shift rosters, brief each team, check posts and patrols, and control access for people and vehicles. You write incident reports, coordinate with the police or fire services when needed and make sure every guard follows the site's procedures.

Background and career path

Many come up from guard roles, others from the army, police or gendarmerie, and a fire safety or first aid certificate is often expected. Experienced supervisors move up to site security manager or head of security.
