SIA Door Supervisor - Edinburgh

We are Showsec, the award-winning venue and event security specialist dedicated to achieving excellence in crowd management.

We’re seeking additional SIA Door Supervisors to join our teams at various very busy prominent Edinburgh and central Scotland venues including:

• O2 Academy Edinburgh
• O2 Academy Glasgow

If you are looking for a second income, or to gain some security experience, this is a great opportunity for you to pick up a couple of shifts per week. You could be working at gigs, comedy shows, exhibitions, Bongo’s Bingo, and more.

Our casual contract offers you great flexibility. Whether you are looking to top up your income, or pursue a career in event security and crowd management, Showsec offers you the freedom to choose when you work – if you have existing commitments, this could be the perfect role for you. The large variety of high-profile events mean no two shifts are the same!

Showsec can offer you industry leading training and development opportunities, with the chance to work your way up the ladder:

Steward > Door Supervisor > Event Supervisor > Head of Security > Operations Supervisor > Operations Executive > Area Management

We can only accept applications from candidates who are local to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the venues listed above. Although you will primarily be based in central Scotland, during festival season you will have the opportunity to work at events further afield if you are willing and able to do so!
