  • Experience in either concierge or mobile/rover patrol roles (or both)
  • Intermediate computer skills for reporting and access management
  • A professional, customer-focused attitude
  • Physically fit and alert with strong situational awareness
  • Ability to adapt between active security duties and front-of-house responsibilities
