Job Role: Security & Logistics Officer

Join the team helping to keep one of London's newest and most exciting destinations safe, secure and operating efficiently.

Anchor Group Services is recruiting for a Security & Logistics Officer at The Elephant, a landmark mixed-use development at the heart of Elephant & Castle. Bringing together retail, residential and public spaces, The Elephant is set to become a vibrant destination where residents, visitors, retailers and communities come together. This is a unique opportunity to join a flagship London development from day one, helping to establish standards, culture and service excellence across a brand-new site.

Due to the operational requirements of the site, successful candidates will be required to work across multiple functions, including access control, logistics management, control room support and general security duties. As such, applicants must hold a valid SIA Door Supervisor Licence. A valid CCTV (Public Space Surveillance) Licence is highly desirable.

If you're reliable, proactive and take pride in delivering excellent service while maintaining high standards of safety and security, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Security & Logistics Officer, you will support the day-to-day security and logistics operation across the development, helping to ensure the safe and efficient management of vehicles, deliveries, contractors and visitors. Working closely with retailers, contractors, site teams and the wider security team, you will play a key role in maintaining a safe, secure, well-organised and professional environment at all times.

The role combines security responsibilities with logistics coordination, including managing access to loading bays and service routes, monitoring site activity, supporting contractor management processes and assisting with vehicle movements where required.
