Knoxville Armed Utility Officer

An ARMED Utilities Officer covers medical leaves, sicknesses, vacations and open posts that do not have an officer assigned. The utility officer must have open availability and be able to work weekends and holidays. The schedule is released one week prior but may be adjusted depending on situations at the post.

Candidate must be a licensed/legal driver, at least 25 years old with an acceptable driving record to be covered under the Walden Security Automobile insurance.
