Where you will be working
Resolution Copper has the potential to supply nearly 25% of the US copper demand and create several thousand direct and indirect jobs in the Pioneer Mining District of Arizona, with an economic value of several billion dollars over the estimated mine life.
The project will rely on a technique called block caving to extract the deposit that lies more than 2,000 meters deep. This technique uses gravity to help remove the ore and is the most viable way to recover the resource.
In anticipation of the Final EIS in 2025, Resolution Copper will continue underground development, conduct extensive drilling and orebody testing, plus maintain the permitting and public engagement process.

Security Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a security manager in Arizona?
Becoming a security manager in Arizona typically starts with obtaining an Arizona Department of Public Safety security guard registration, which is required for most commercial security roles in the state. From there, candidates generally build supervisory experience over several years before moving into management. A bachelor's degree in criminal justice or security management strengthens your candidacy, and professional certifications such as the Certified Protection Professional are widely recognized by Arizona employers in healthcare, government, and corporate sectors.
How much do security managers make in Arizona?
Security managers in Arizona earn a median of about $99,880 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,160 for the lowest 10% to over $160,050 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire security managers in Arizona?
Employers hiring security managers in Arizona right now include Raytheon, Rio Tinto, and Lucid Motors, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's mix of large hospital systems, defense contractors, and state government agencies means security manager hiring is spread across several industries with different specializations and site requirements.
Which Arizona cities have the most security manager jobs?
Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa lead Arizona for security manager openings, reflecting the concentration of corporate headquarters, healthcare campuses, defense facilities, and government operations in these metros. Phoenix dominates by volume given its size and the density of employers like Banner Health and major defense contractors, while Tucson's openings are driven heavily by military installations and the University of Arizona medical system.
Are there remote security manager jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Security manager work is largely site-based, requiring physical oversight of facilities, staff, and access control systems that cannot be done remotely. About 43% of security manager openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to focus on cybersecurity program oversight, policy development, or enterprise risk management rather than traditional physical security operations.
How can I get hired as a security manager in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a security officer or shift supervisor, then building toward management over two to four years. Arizona employers such as Banner Health, the Arizona Department of Corrections, and large resort properties regularly hire entry-level security officers and promote internally. Obtaining your Arizona Department of Public Safety guard registration immediately signals seriousness, and pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Arizona State University or the University of Arizona alongside field experience accelerates the path to a management role.
Where can I find and apply to security manager jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to security manager jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across industries including healthcare, defense, corporate security, and government. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly to the employers posting them.
