Security Officer

Accor is seeking a Security Officer to help safeguard guests and team members at a luxury property in Ras Al Khaimah City, AE. The role is fulltime and onsite, with responsibilities that blend guest safety, incident response, and everyday risk management in a hospitality setting.

The position is designed for someone who takes a practical, hands-on approach to safety and who enjoys working closely with hotel teams to maintain a secure, welcoming environment for guests.

This opportunity suits someone with a background in safety and a passion for service, particularly if you've spent time in luxury hotels or high-end properties. A strong communicator who can lead by example and stay calm under pressure will fit well here.

Guarding guests and assets at a Ras Al Khaimah property

In this role, you’ll help shape and enforce safety policies to meet local, national, and international standards. You’ll run regular safety inspections, carry out risk assessments, and perform audits to spot hazards and keep the site safe for guests and staff.

You’ll lead safety training sessions, sharing best practices and ensuring colleagues know how to respond when things go wrong.

You’ll investigate accidents and near-misses, preparing clear reports with actionable recommendations, and you’ll partner with hotel leadership on safety improvements. You’ll keep accurate records of incidents, trainings, inspections, and corrective actions, and you’ll ensure PPE and other safety gear are available and used properly.

As the go-to contact for safety matters, you’ll coach team members, promote teamwork, and maintain high grooming, hygiene and safety standards across the property. You’ll keep pool areas clean and safe, ensure consistency in pool surroundings, and help with daily cleaning and maintenance of equipment and facilities. You’ll stay connected through all available communication tools to disseminate information promptly and participate in daily operational briefings with direct reports and supervisors. You’ll be ready for emergencies by reviewing the hotel’s procedures and staying familiar with related company documents. And when new ideas are introduced, you’ll help implement them and look for opportunities to improve how things are done.
