Security Operations Center (SOC) Operator

Description

Multi-Site Surveillance & Incident Response | Corporate Office – Las Vegas, NV

If you're a security professional who thrives on situational awareness, stays sharp across a long shift, and takes ownership when something doesn't look right — this role was built for you. Swickard Automotive Group is seeking a SOC Operator to serve as the eyes and ears of our growing dealership network from our corporate office in Las Vegas. This isn't a post-and-patrol job. It's a real operations role with visibility across the entire organization.

Responsibilities:

• Monitor CCTV, access control, and alarm systems across Swickard's multi-state dealership network in real time
• Serve as the first line of detection and response for security incidents — assess, act, and escalate with confidence
• Maintain clear, accurate incident reports, activity logs, and shift handoff documentation
• Coordinate directly with dealership management, on-site personnel, and emergency services during active events
• Identify patterns, vulnerabilities, and anomalies through ongoing surveillance and threat assessment
• Support security audits, risk assessments, and SOC procedure development
• Partner with IT, HR, and operations to enforce security standards across all locations
• As we grow, this role will evolve — we'll need someone comfortable adapting to new tools, locations, and responsibilities

Qualifications:

• Demonstrates a high "HQ" (Hospitality Quotient) — kindness, integrity, self-awareness, and work ethic matter here because this role requires trust, discretion, and daily collaboration with teams across the company
• Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; coursework in security, criminal justice, or a related field is a plus
• Experience: Prior experience in security operations, dispatch, surveillance monitoring, or a similar environment preferred
  • Proficiency with CCTV platforms, access control systems, and security monitoring software
  • Ability to track and manage multiple locations and feeds simultaneously without losing focus
  • Strong written communication — your reports need to be clear, accurate, and useful to people who weren't in the room
  • Cool-headed decision-making when things move fast
  • Disciplined documentation habits and high attention to detail
  • Flexibility to work varied shifts, including nights and weekends as needed

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to maintain focus and alertness through extended monitoring shifts, including overnight and weekend rotations
• Sustained screen work across multiple displays for the duration of a shift
• Ability to respond quickly and effectively when an incident requires immediate action

Benefits of Working at Swickard:

• Career Path – This role has a clear runway. Strong SOC Operators grow into senior security roles, multi-site security management, and broader operations leadership within a rapidly expanding organization
• Real Visibility – You'll have eyes across an entire multi-state dealership network, not just one building. The scope here is bigger than most single-site security roles
• Competitive Compensation – Competitive salary and shift considerations
• 401(k) – Plan for your future with company retirement benefits
• Paid Time Off – Recharge and take the time you need
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance – Full coverage for you and your family
• Life & Disability Insurance – Peace of mind when it matters most
• Pet Insurance – Because your whole family deserves coverage
• Employee Mental Health & Wellness Program – We take care of the whole person, not just the employee
• We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and value diversity and inclusion at our company
