Browse night shift and 3rd shift security openings across the DFW metro — updated continuously. Built for DFW officers.
The Dallas–Fort Worth overnight security market is defined by persistent undersupply. Every major contracted employer — Allied Universal, GardaWorld, Securitas, Sunstates — is consistently short on overnight officers across their DFW accounts. The entertainment district demand (Deep Ellum, Uptown, Sundance Square) runs Thursday through Saturday. The industrial corridor demand (I-20, I-35W, Alliance) runs seven nights a week. The hotel corridor overnight demand runs year-round.
Officers with genuine overnight availability and a clean background place faster in DFW security than any other candidate profile. GardaWorld's FLEX DailyPay model and Sunstates' weekly pay with overnight differential make the financial argument for overnight work clear — you earn more, place faster, and have first choice of available shifts across the metro.
Entertainment district overnight is the most active overnight security environment in DFW. Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, and Uptown Dallas run high-volume nightlife Thursday through Saturday — officers provide crowd management, access control at venue entry, parking area patrol, and incident response in environments where professional composure under pressure is the core competency.
Industrial and construction overnight is the steadiest overnight employment in DFW. Officers conduct perimeter patrol of manufacturing and distribution facilities, manage vehicle access at shift change points, monitor CCTV and alarm systems, and document any incidents through detailed written reports. The volume of DFW's industrial base means consistent openings year-round.
Standard unarmed 3rd shift $17–$20/hr. Hotel and hospitality overnight $18–$21/hr. Industrial overnight $19–$22/hr. Armed overnight $21–$26/hr Level 3. Overnight differential $1–$3/hr above equivalent day shift at all major employers.
