FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which employers are actively hiring security in Mansfield right now?+
Sunstates Security (2026 Forbes Dream Employer) has multiple verified active Mansfield postings: Unarmed Security Officer FT/PT All shifts at $22/hr (logistics account, prior truck gate experience strongly preferred); Unarmed Shift Supervisor 2nd and 3rd shift at $23/hr — both are current Indeed and Glassdoor-verified postings. SITEMETRIC LLC posts Access Control Officer FT Night in Mansfield at $18–$20/hr with dental insurance and 401k. Secure Source International in adjacent Burleson posts security at $17–$18/hr on 12-hour shifts. National Security & Protective Services in adjacent Everman posts at $18.21/hr+ with health insurance and paid training.
What is SITEMETRIC and why do they hire security in Mansfield?+
SITEMETRIC is a construction technology firm that provides data, hardware, and software services to construction owners and general contractors. Their access control officers manage physical access to active construction sites — verifying credentials, monitoring entry points, and maintaining site security logs. Access Control Officer roles at SITEMETRIC report a median total pay of $60,865/yr per Glassdoor (an outlier reflecting the role classification; entry-level access control positions typically run $18–$20/hr). SITEMETRIC specifically targets Mansfield for night shift access control, reflecting the active commercial and industrial construction activity in the south Tarrant County corridor.
What is the Lockheed Martin connection to Mansfield security?+
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (LMMFC) operates one of its largest facilities in the Grand Prairie/Mansfield area — the facility produces missiles, precision weapons systems, and related defense technology. LM's presence in south Tarrant County makes the broader Mansfield/Burleson/Everman corridor a defense-adjacent industrial security market. Physical security roles at or near LM facilities may require background investigation clearance screening beyond standard DPS requirements. The LM campus in the area anchors a broader aerospace and defense supply chain that includes security-employing industrial firms throughout the south Fort Worth suburbs.
Is Mansfield growing as a security employment market?+
Yes — Mansfield is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tarrant County by commercial and industrial development. The Hwy 287 and US-67 corridors have attracted substantial logistics, distribution, and light manufacturing development. Sunstates' Mansfield postings describe a logistics account requiring truck gate experience — consistent with a large distribution facility with high inbound/outbound truck traffic. The combination of Lockheed-adjacent industrial, growing distribution center development, and Mansfield ISD's large school district footprint creates a diversified security market that rewards officers who understand both industrial and educational environments.
What does Mansfield security pay compared to the DFW average?+
Mansfield pays above the DFW average for unarmed security. Sunstates' verified Mansfield postings at $22/hr (all shifts) and $23/hr (supervisor 2nd/3rd) are among the higher rates for unarmed officer positions in Tarrant County. SITEMETRIC's $18–$20/hr night shift range is at the market midpoint. The premium reflects the industrial account mix — logistics gate and truck access control accounts consistently pay above standard commercial or residential security because of the procedural rigor and accountability they require.
Overview

Mansfield Security Market: South Tarrant County's Industrial Growth Zone

Mansfield is one of the most active security employment markets in Tarrant County that doesn't appear on most candidates' radar — which is exactly why the pay is competitive. Sunstates Security, one of the top 10 largest security providers in North America, runs multiple concurrent Mansfield accounts with verified active postings at $22–$23/hr for unarmed positions. That pay level, for non-armed security work, is a reliable signal of industrial account complexity — likely a large logistics or distribution facility with high truck traffic volume, strict access control requirements, and the expectation that officers can manage a professional gate operation.

SITEMETRIC's Mansfield access control night shift adds the construction technology dimension. Mansfield's commercial development activity along the Hwy 287 corridor has created active construction sites that need access management during non-business hours. SITEMETRIC's night shift posts at $18–$20/hr with benefits represent the intersection of technology-enabled access control and traditional security work — officers at these accounts work with credential management systems rather than just visual verification.

The Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control presence in the greater Mansfield/Grand Prairie area creates a defense-adjacent security employment ecosystem. Industrial supply chain firms, aerospace component manufacturers, and logistics operations that serve LM all have security needs. Officers who build a track record in Mansfield's industrial security market develop credentials that travel well across DFW's defense and aerospace corridor.

Overview & Duties
Role Overview

What Security Officers Do in Mansfield

Industrial gate and logistics security is the dominant Mansfield work type. Truck gate operation — verifying driver credentials, managing truck staging, coordinating with warehouse operations on appointment windows, logging all inbound and outbound traffic — is procedural, documentation-heavy work that Sunstates explicitly notes prior truck gate experience for. Officers who develop gate operation competence in Mansfield have skills applicable across DFW's logistics corridor, the Alliance zone in north Fort Worth, and comparable industrial accounts in Grand Prairie and Irving.

Construction site access control at SITEMETRIC accounts is a different environment — fewer truck volumes, more contractor credentialing, and the technology-assisted monitoring that SITEMETRIC's platform provides. Officers work with digital access systems rather than paper logs, building a tech-forward security skill set that's increasingly in demand as construction site security modernizes across the DFW market.
