- Provide excellent customer service by assisting visitors, answering questions, and addressing concerns.
- Enforce security protocols and procedures, ensuring compliance with company policies and regulations.
- Administer first aid and CPR if required and trained to do so.
- If necessary, provide testimony in court regarding security incidents.
- Work closely with law enforcement and emergency services when needed.
Schedule
This is a full-time position. Scheduled shift is 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM, Sunday through Saturday (7 days a week), totaling 35 hours weekly.
