• Always ensure the safety of the site and everyone on it
• Stay vigilant and identify any suspicious activities
• Prevent any unauthorised access
• Keep up to date with all the activity on site and have full knowledge of daily events
• Create a positive, professional relationship with customers and colleagues
• Adhere to all Health & Safety procedures and ensure any breaches are reported
• Work as part of a team and on your own depending on site requirements

About You

• Previous security experience
• A valid front-line security guarding, door supervision or close protection SIA licence
• Able to undergo BS7858 screening
