Familiarity with two-way radios, surveillance systems, and incident reporting software is typically required. Strong observational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm under pressure are important soft skills for this role. These skills ensure the security and safety of premises, enable quick response to incidents, and support effective communication with team members and clients.
