Security & Patrols: Conducting patrols of the perimeter to check for unlocked doors, broken gates, or unauthorized entry.

Incident Response: Acting as a deterrent, spotting, and reporting suspicious activities. Coordinating with law enforcement or emergency services during incidents.

Customer Service: Greeting guests, directing visitors, and providing information in a professional manner.

Operational Duties: Managing gate operations, including opening/closing gates for authorized vehicles.

Alertness: High level of situational awareness and attention to detail.

Physical Fitness: Ability to stand for long periods and conduct patrols, if required.

Technical Skills: Basic knowledge of security systems and, sometimes, computer skills for logging.
