Security officer pay in Maine
Use the Maine wage estimates below to compare the pay on a job posting with the wider security-guard market. The median is the midpoint: half of workers earn less and half earn more. The middle 50% shows the range between the 25th and 75th percentiles.
For a role in Maine, review the work location, shift, duties and required credential before applying. Compare hourly pay alongside travel time, benefits and the number of scheduled hours. A statewide estimate is a starting point; it is not a promised rate for a particular job.
Keep your license state, type and expiration current in your officer profile. Applying on GuardXChange requires an approved, unexpired credential that matches the job's state and license type. Check the relevant licensing authority for current legal requirements.
