Hotel Security Officer

Responsibilities

• Monitor and control boutique hotel access — entrance gate, courtyard, guest corridors, roof terrace
• Conduct low-profile patrols appropriate to Oaxacan colonial property layouts — inner courtyards, garden terraces, room corridors
• Manage night security — colonial properties with open courtyards require active overnight presence
• Respond to guest incidents calmly and discreetly — cultural tourism guests are sensitive to visible security intervention
• Operate basic CCTV and alarm systems
• Assist guests with local orientation and safety questions
• Coordinate with local police when required

Requirements

• STASPE certification
• Clean background record
• Physical fitness for patrol in Oaxaca's high-altitude climate (1,550m)
• Basic English — Oaxacan boutique hotel guests are predominantly international
• Composure and cultural sensitivity — Oaxaca's guest profile requires a particularly human approach to security
• Discretion in incident management

Benefits

• IMSS, Aguinaldo, vacation + premium
• Staff meals
• Uniform

Work environment

Boutique hotel security in Oaxaca City. Intimate colonial property environment — smaller scale, closer guest relationships, more culturally engaged than resort security.

About the role

The guardian who feels like part of the family. The Oaxacan boutique hotel where a solo female traveler from France can walk into the courtyard at midnight after a late temazcal ceremony and feel completely safe — where the security officer nods quietly and goes back to his rounds — has achieved something that large resort security cannot: genuine personal safety in an intimate, human environment.
