This role requires a vigilant security professional who can monitor premises, conduct security patrols, control access points, and respond swiftly to any incidents or potential threats. Excellent customer service skills are also essential as officers interact with clients and visitors while maintaining a secure environment. Detailed documentation of events and collaboration with law enforcement or emergency personnel are part of the officer's duties, ensuring a thorough approach to incident management and prevention. Flexibility is paramount for those interested in joining GardaWorld as a Response Security Officer.
