Puerto Rico Security Roles Compared: Pay, Status and Scope
One security listing is offline at $12,000–$17,000, while three San Juan roles provide less salary detail and clearer uncertainty.
You're choosing between security work in Isabela and a wider set of general-labour roles around San Juan. Here's what actually matters: one listing discloses a salary of $12,000–$17,000 but is already offline, while the other three provide too little public detail to compare pay confidently.
The comparison is not really about finding the highest salary. It is about separating a verifiable role from listings that require further checking before you invest time in an application.
The listing with the clearest pay detail
Security remains the only cluster with a published salary range, but availability changes the recommendation completely. The source page identifies the employer as Allied Universal, places the role on-site in Isabela, and labels it full time. It also states that the vacancy has been taken offline.
That status is the key fact. A salary range is useful only when the role can still be pursued. The page also does not explain licensing requirements, shift patterns, benefits, overtime or whether the quoted annual figure includes allowances. Treat the pay as historical listing data, not a live offer.
The listing can still help benchmark nearby security work. Its upper figure is $17,000 per year, but the page supplies no evidence that the role paid above the market or included additional compensation. For a current applicant, the next step is verification through the JobLeads job board and Allied Universal's current recruitment channels.
Security Officer: Access Control and Rounds
The published $12,000–$17,000 range makes this the only role here with a concrete pay benchmark, and the full-time on-site format is clear. The problem is decisive: the listing is marked offline, so applicants should not treat it as an active vacancy. It suits someone researching security pay in Isabela, not someone needing a live application route today.
That is the strongest data point in the group, but not the strongest application option. The three San Juan-area listings below are harder to price and assess, yet two are at least presented as active redirects rather than explicitly closed pages. Their uncertainty is different: availability may be better, while eligibility and pay remain unconfirmed.
San Juan roles: broader scope, thinner detail
The San Juan results split into two tracks. One is another security post, while the other two move into maintenance planning and facilities leadership. They should not be treated as interchangeable entry-level jobs: the titles suggest different levels of responsibility and likely different experience requirements, although the supplied pages do not state those requirements.
Security Officer
This is the closest live comparison to the Isabela security post: the title identifies a metro-area security officer role, and the source route points to San Juan. Unlike the Isabela page, no salary, schedule, employer name or duties are supplied in the available data. Choose it only after confirming the site, shift rotation, licence requirements and hourly rate through the Talent.com redirect.
Maintenance Planner
Maintenance planning is a different career lane from patrol and access control. The San Juan location is visible in the source route, but the misspelt title is the only substantive job detail provided, with no salary, employer description or qualification list. It makes sense for an applicant with scheduling, maintenance administration or technical coordination experience; it is a weak match for someone seeking general security work.
Utilities Facilities Site Leader
A Utilities/Facilities Site Leader role implies site-wide responsibility rather than routine general labour, but the supplied listing gives no pay, employer detail, duties or experience threshold. That missing information matters more here because leadership titles can conceal substantial supervisory and technical expectations. Investigate this one only if you already have facilities operations experience and can confirm the reporting scope before applying.
Head-to-head comparison
| Role | Location | Pay disclosed | Work format | Public status | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security Officer: Access Control and Patrols | Isabela | $12,000–$17,000 | On-site, full time | Offline | Pay benchmarking |
| 001 Security Officer – Metro Area | San Juan area | Not supplied | Not supplied | Redirect listing | Security applicants checking current metro roles |
| Maintenance Planner | San Juan | Not supplied | Not supplied | Redirect listing | Maintenance coordination experience |
| Utilities/Facilities Site Leader | San Juan | Not supplied | Not supplied | Redirect listing | Facilities supervisors |
Eligibility: none of the supplied pages confirms qualifications, licences or experience requirements. Security applicants should verify whether a Puerto Rico security licence is required before applying. The Puerto Rico Department of Public Safety is the appropriate public authority to consult for current regulatory information.
Application reliability: the Isabela role is the most transparent on pay and schedule but cannot be applied for through the supplied page. The San Juan roles may be more relevant for current searches, yet the redirects leave the essential questions unanswered. Do not assume that an active redirect means the employer is still accepting applications.
Role scope: the metro security officer post is the cleanest match for a general security search. Maintenance Planner and Utilities/Facilities Site Leader belong in a separate shortlist unless your background includes planning, technical coordination or site supervision.
The verdict
For someone seeking a current security job with limited prior information, the San Juan metro security listing is the practical first check because it matches the target occupation and appears through a current redirect. Its weakness is the absence of salary and eligibility detail. Confirm the employer, shift pattern, licence requirement and hourly rate before submitting personal information.
For someone comparing pay, the Isabela Allied Universal listing wins on transparency with its $12,000–$17,000 range and full-time on-site label. It loses on availability because the page is offline. The Maintenance Planner belongs to applicants with coordination experience, while the Utilities/Facilities Site Leader is for people already operating at a supervisory facilities level.
The useful insight is simple: the listing with the most facts is not necessarily the listing you can apply for. Start with the live-looking security redirect, use the offline Isabela salary as a rough benchmark, and treat the two facilities roles as separate professional tracks.
