Security Operations Jr. Analyst @ Athens Services

Summary

Position Summary:

Athens Services Security’s mission is to deliver a safe and secure workplace for all Athens employees, facilities, and customers. The Athens Security Operations Center (ASOC) supports this mission by providing 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and risk management services across more than 37 facilities in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties.

The Security Operations Jr. Analyst, also known as the Security Patrol Rover, is a hybrid role designed to provide operational flexibility. Team members will support the ASOC as entry-level analysts, assisting with monitoring and incident reporting, while also serving as roving security support for Athens facilities. Patrol Rovers will respond to staffing gaps, conduct security checks, and ensure physical controls are in place at sites.

This position requires adaptability, strong communication skills, and the ability to switch between command center operations and field patrol duties.

Job Description

Essential Job Functions:

Assist ASOC analysts with monitoring security technologies (CCTV, access control, incident reporting platforms).
Triage and document incidents under the guidance of senior analysts.
Conduct roving patrols across Athens facilities in a company vehicle to ensure security presence and coverage.
Fill site security staffing gaps as directed by ASOC leadership.
Perform physical security checks (perimeter inspections, door checks, alarm testing, equipment verification).
Provide visible deterrence to theft, vandalism, and trespassing through patrol activity.
Support emergency response efforts (fire, medical, intrusions, hazardous conditions).
Deliver clear, professional reports and communications from both ASOC and field assignments.

Day In The Life

As a Security Operations Jr. Analyst, you will divide your time between the ASOC and Athens facilities. At times, you will sit at an analyst workstation monitoring systems and documenting incidents. At other times, you will be deployed to the field to provide direct security support, ensuring coverage and verifying security measures at facilities. This is a shift-based role within a 24/7 operation, and you may be expected to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.
