About the role

Georgia Ports Authority is seeking a Protective Services Officer to manage gate traffic, verify credentials, and monitor the terminal with surveillance and radio communication to GPA Police Dispatch. Responsibilities include enforcing MTSA-based security, screening cargo and people, and maintaining safe, clean work areas. The role requires a high school diploma or equivalent, TWIC and a valid driver's license with ability to work rotating shifts, holidays, and weekends.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
