About the Role
The Control Room Officer is the central nervous system of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art's security operations. Operating 24/7 from the Security Control Room, this essential staff position serves as the primary communication link between museum security personnel, external emergency response units, and the broader museum community.
Your mission is to ensure a safe and secure environment for the museum's priceless collections, members, visitors, volunteers, and staff. You will act as the first line of defense, monitoring life safety systems, building management, and surveillance feeds while maintaining a professional, courteous presence that upholds museum policies even during high-stress situations.

Beyond monitoring, you will be the eyes and ears of the facility, scanning for water leaks, flooding, and physical hazards. You will maintain accurate logs, document incidents, and ensure all communications are clear and professional. This role requires a balance of technical vigilance and interpersonal skill, as you will interact with a wide range of individuals, from law enforcement officials to curious visitors, always prioritizing safety and courtesy.
