Function: Field Operations Location: Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with deployment to client sites and travel routes worldwide. Rotational assignments are standard.

01.Summary

Protective Specialists conduct close-protection details and movement planning for principals operating across complex jurisdictions. The role is professional, low-profile, and deliberately discreet; the standard is that the principal's day proceeds as planned and nothing remarkable happens.

02.What you will do

  • Plan and execute protective details for principals during travel, public engagements, and routine movement.
  • Conduct route reconnaissance, venue surveys, and threat assessments in advance of each assignment.
  • Coordinate with local providers, hotel and venue security, and aviation handlers across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Drive principals and their parties under defensive-driving protocols appropriate to the operating environment.
  • Provide immediate medical response within the limits of the operator's certification, and coordinate handoff to local emergency services.
  • Maintain detailed after-action reporting on each detail through UG Cortex.
  • Operate within the firm's strict rules on conduct, discretion, and information-handling.

03.What we look for

  • Prior service in a protective, military, or law-enforcement role, or equivalent professional experience in executive protection.
  • Recognised close-protection certification valid in at least one major operating jurisdiction.
  • Defensive and evasive driving qualifications; multi-jurisdictional driving licences strongly preferred.
  • Current advanced first-aid or pre-hospital trauma certification (for example, FPOS-I, MIRA, or equivalent).
  • Working proficiency in English and at least one additional language relevant to a UG operating region.
  • Discretion, situational awareness, and absolute reliability with confidential information.
  • Clean personal record consistent with the firm's standards; no public profile inconsistent with low-visibility work.

04.Vetting
