Corvallis Security Jobs at a Glance

Confirm current pay, schedule, certification requirements and availability on the employer’s official application page.

Oregon State University Public Safety

Oregon State University is Corvallis’s most important institutional public-safety employer. OSU’s Campus Security/Public Safety Officer classification includes protecting university buildings, people and property; vehicle, bicycle and foot patrol; crime deterrence; safety escorts; and assistance to students, staff and visitors.

OSU may recruit sworn, non-sworn and other public-safety roles at different times. Use the OSU Campus Security/Public Safety Officer position description to understand the work, then check current OSU jobs before assuming a vacancy exists.

Contract Security & Control-Room Work

Securitas currently dominates the OSG Corvallis feed with multi-site, full-time flex, part-time flex and control-room roles. Current tracked pay is $19.50/hr for multi-site work, $20.00/hr for flex roles and $20.50/hr for a control-room operator.

Control-room work can be a useful step toward security operations center careers because it emphasizes monitoring, communications, alarms, documentation and coordinated response rather than only foot patrol.

Healthcare Security & Good Samaritan

Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center is Samaritan Health Services’ flagship hospital in Corvallis and the largest hospital in Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties. OSG does not assume a security vacancy is open without a live posting, but the hospital is a major local institution worth monitoring for safety, security and other support careers through Samaritan’s Corvallis careers page.

Retail Asset Protection

OSG currently tracks a Home Depot Asset Protection Specialist in Corvallis. Retail AP work can involve surveillance, theft/fraud investigation, evidence and case documentation, store safety and coordination with law enforcement rather than traditional post guarding.

Security Pay in Corvallis

Current OSG hourly examples cluster around $19.50–$20.50/hr for Securitas multi-site, flex and control-room roles. Institutional public-safety and healthcare roles can have different compensation structures, so compare those separately when openings appear.

DPSST Training for Corvallis Applicants
