Surveillance Officer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• We are searching for skilled Surveillance Officers to assist an Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) client as part of a specialized protective security program.

• This position is distinct from a traditional Close Protection role. We seek highly competent surveillance experts capable of discreetly identifying, monitoring, and evaluating potential threats while working as part of a broader protective security team.

• Successful candidates will be tasked with planning and executing covert surveillance operations, collecting intelligence to facilitate informed operational decision-making, and identifying hostile reconnaissance or suspicious activities before they escalate into a threat.

• The role may involve travel across the UK and occasional international assignments, including overnight stays based on operational demands.

• This position offers flexibility regarding the location of candidates within the UK; however, selected applicants must be willing to travel at short notice as operational needs arise.

• Given the responsive nature of the role, applicants should not have conflicting full-time employment or other commitments that could hinder their ability to deploy as needed. A high degree of flexibility, professionalism, and operational readiness is crucial.
