Employment opportunities within Bastion Security are classified as long-term (full or part time) positions at
Corporate or Regional offices, or contract positions within the Security Teams. Specific career or contract
opportunities will be made available as needed. Details may be found by viewing the pages or
documents as titled below.
Careers
Long-term positions will be primarily non-operational and may include the following descriptions;
- Corporate Management;
- Regional Managament;
- Administrative Support;
- Logistical Support, and
- Business Development.
Long-term operational positions will primarily be filled internally based on their performance on
operations within a Security Team, but prospective employees with specialized skills not present
with existing personnel will be considered if a need for that skill is required on a long-term basis.
Example positions include, but are not limited to;
- Training Teams;
- Consulting Teams, and
- Intelligence Teams.
Applications for posted careers submitted electronically should be sent to
opportunities@thefortressgroup.com.
Submissions by regular mail should be sent to the address at the bottom of this page.
Security Team Roster
Personnel required for all elements of the Security Team are staffed from our roster unless a specialized
skill for a specific mission can not be performed by roster personnel. Inclusion in the Roster is no
guarantee of present or future employment. Selection of Security Team members or leaders for Operational
Employment is based on the following criteria;
- Operational Readiness and availability;
- Contract requirements;
- Skills and training, and
- Operational performance and ability to function within an integrated team.
Continued listing in the roster is contingent on operational readiness, satisfactory performance during
previous operations as well as a minimal acceptance of operational deployments and training.
Non-Protection related support roles will generally only be required for large, long-term operations
where the Chief-of-Staff requires administrative, logistical or other support. As a general rule,
these positions will be filled by personnel with previous international experience, local contracts
or persons with extensive knowledge of the local economy where Security Operations are being performed,
or from existing staff in Regional or Corporate Offices. Positions which can not be filled in these
manners will be posted on the Bastion Security Web Site, or advertised externally when they become available.
Applications for roster positions submitted electronically should be sent to
opportunities@thefortressgroup.com, with the word "roster" in the subject. Submissions by regular mail should be sent to the address at the bottom of this page.
