EGS Security Solutions is selecting Personal Protective Specialists for close-protection assignments across Northern Virginia and the greater Washington, D.C. area. This is a selective, standards-driven role for credentialed operators.
As a Personal Protective Specialist with EGS, you provide close protection for executives, principals, and high-net-worth individuals. You operate to a diplomatic-grade standard — discretion, planning, and measured response over presence alone. EGS is led by U.S. Marine and law enforcement leadership with diplomatic-grade protection standards applied to private clients.
If selected for interview, we will contact you directly. Every submission is reviewed by our protection operations team.
All of the following are required to be considered for this role.
Active Virginia DCJS registration number and Personal Protective Specialist (PPS) credentials with advanced handgun qualification.
Submit a current professional headshot alongside your resume through the application form below.
Must pass company training in Emergency Medical response as part of the onboarding standard.

Must pass company training on Use of Force policy, decision-making, and documentation.
Must pass company training in De-escalation and other firearms tactics relevant to close protection.
Train under a Marine Security Guard standard. We run protection as a discipline, not a post.
We hire for character and capability first. You work alongside operators who hold the same standard.
Defined growth from PPS to team lead to operations leadership for those who perform.
