Entry Level Industrial Security Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level industrial security specialist job?
Start by earning a relevant credential such as a CompTIA Security+ or a degree in criminal justice, security management, or a related field. Employers hiring at this level value internship experience, familiarity with access control systems, and knowledge of OSHA and facility security protocols. Tailoring your resume to highlight any hands-on security or compliance work, even from campus or volunteer settings, gives you a real edge.
Which companies hire entry level industrial security specialists?
Companies hiring entry level industrial security specialists right now include Jabil, Jobot, and Konecranes, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a mix of defense contractors, manufacturing facilities, logistics operations, and security services firms that regularly onboard junior candidates and provide structured on-the-job training.
Are there remote entry level industrial security specialist jobs?
Yes, though most positions at this level are on-site given the physical nature of industrial security work. About 12% of entry level industrial security specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these tend to involve administrative security functions, compliance monitoring, or coordination roles rather than hands-on facility work.
Are these new grad industrial security specialist jobs?
Yes, many of the listings on this page are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with zero to two years of experience. A new grad friendly posting typically notes that internships, relevant coursework, military service, or a security-related portfolio can substitute for full-time professional experience, making them accessible to first-time job seekers.
Which industries hire the most entry level industrial security specialists?
Entry Level industrial security specialist roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
