Most security positions don't require an EMT certification.

This one does.

GPI Defense is seeking Level II Security Officers with an active EMT certification for a security-first assignment in Grand Prairie, TX.

• Grand Prairie, TX
• Monday-Friday operations
• 24-hour site coverage
• Competitive pay with opportunities for growth

We're looking for dependable professionals who understand that showing up prepared, communicating well, and taking ownership of the job are just as important as meeting the licensing requirements.

At GPI Defense, leadership is built through consistency, accountability, and growth over time.

This month, we’re recognizing Lisa Iturri for her 6th year with the company and her continued advancement into the role of Director of Operations over Texas.

Lisa started in Houston Operations and has continued to grow into a key leadership position through hard work, operational discipline, and a commitment to the people and clients we serve.

She is also an Army veteran and actively volunteers with search & rescue efforts outside of work. When she’s not working, you’ll usually find her spending time outdoors fishing, hiking, camping, dirt biking, or alongside her German Shepherd, Balboa, who has become a familiar face around the office.

As GPI Defense continues expanding, Lisa is now focused on supporting future overseas operations and continued operational growth across the company.

We appreciate everything she brings to the team and look forward to what’s ahead.
