Security Executive

Job Description

The Security Executive is responsible for protecting guests, colleagues, hotel assets and premises while maintaining a welcoming service environment. Typical duties include monitoring surveillance systems, conducting patrols, responding to incidents, enforcing access-control procedures, preparing reports and supporting emergency or evacuation plans. Candidates should have relevant security experience, good knowledge of safety procedures and local regulations, sound judgment, physical fitness and strong communication skills. A valid Singapore security licence or the ability to obtain one may be required. The role demands integrity, alertness, discretion, teamwork and a calm, professional approach when handling emergencies or difficult situations. Hotel, hospitality or customer-service experience is advantageous, as the successful candidate must balance effective security control with Shangri-La’s high service standards.

Destination Guide

Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city-state with strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, security, finance, technology, healthcare and logistics. The culture is multicultural, blending Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, with English widely used at work. Life is generally safe, efficient and convenient, although accommodation and daily expenses can be high. Public transport is excellent, and food ranges from affordable hawker centres to premium restaurants. Foreign employees normally need employer-sponsored work authorisation: an Employment Pass is aimed at qualifying professional roles, while an S Pass commonly covers eligible mid-skilled positions and is subject to salary, quota and levy requirements. Security roles may also require licensing, training and approval under Singapore regulations. Before relocating, candidates should confirm the contract, shift patterns, medical requirements, accommodation costs, insurance and exact pass eligibility with Shangri-La and Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower.
