Full job description

Overview

We are seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Event Security Officer to cover Back of House (BOH) and Loading Dock (L/D) operations at live events. This is a high-visibility, high-responsibility role protecting people, equipment, and show operations backstage and at the dock.

What You'll Be Doing

Back of House (BOH)

Check credentials, wristbands, laminates, and staff/vendor IDs for anyone entering backstage or restricted corridors
Prevent unauthorized entry to stage, dressing rooms, control rooms, and VIP or production areas
Patrol BOH corridors, dressing rooms, and storage areas to deter theft, vandalism, and tampering with equipment
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 stage management, production, and tour security on timing for moves, VIP movement, and lockdown periods
Prevent friends, fans, or excess staff from congregating in BOH corridors and stage wings; keep areas "operational only"
Enforce BOH rules such as no filming, no photos, no alcohol or drugs, PPE in certain areas, and noise/phone restrictions near performance-sensitive zones
Respond to medical issues or fire alarms in BOH, guide staff and talent to designated exits, and communicate with event command
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
Prevent fans, media, rideshare drivers, or general public from following trucks or crew into BOH via the dock
Help maintain safe vehicle and pedestrian flow: no standing in blind spots, no unauthorized vehicles idling near bays, and clear fire lanes
Watch for unsafe practices (riders on forklifts, unsecured loads, blocked exits) and escalate to dock supervisor or H&S contact
Continuously observe the dock perimeter for loiterers, tailgating through gates, or attempts to climb fences or piggyback on deliveries
Actively monitor dock cameras (where available) and report blind spots or camera failures
Respond to accidents at the dock (falls, injuries) by calling EMS, applying basic first aid within your training, and securing the area
Maintain a detailed dock log: vehicles, incidents, access denials, safety issues, and any law-enforcement or emergency services interactions

What We're Looking For

Dependable and reliable – shows up on time, every time
Good size / physical presence
Firm when needed, but able to deliver good customer service to staff, crew, and guests
Able to communicate clearly over radio
Able to stand for long periods of time
Able to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
Strong attention to detail and consistency in carrying out duties and procedures
Good command of the English language, spoken and written

Mandatory Requirements

Valid Ontario Security Guard Licence
Smart Serve certification
First Aid/CPR certificate

Environment
