Overnight Security Guard Jobs in Decatur, GA (NOW HIRING)

Unitus Security, Georgia's Premier Security Guard Service for Class A Commercial and Mixed-Use Properties, is seeking Overnight Security Supervisors who demonstrate leadership, accountability, urgency, and a service mindset that consistently exceeds client expectations.

Our Overnight Supervisors are critical to maintaining operational control, officer accountability, and client confidence during non-business hours. This role requires a leader who can operate independently, enforce standards consistently, and ensure the property is secure, compliant, and professionally represented at all times.

At Unitus Security, we promote from within and invest in individuals who lead by example, uphold policy, and align with both company and client expectations. Full-time employees are eligible for benefits including healthcare and paid time off.

All Unitus Supervisors are expected to operate in strict alignment with client-specific post orders, company policies, and operational standards.

Overnight Supervisors are responsible for:

• Maintaining full operational oversight of the property during overnight hours

• Making independent decisions in the absence of on-site leadership
• Escalating incidents appropriately and maintaining clear communication with leadership and clients

This role requires strict enforcement of all policies, including attendance, uniform compliance, and post order execution.
