  • Write clear, accurate and timely incident reports, shift logs and daily activity reports
  • Provide directions, assistance and courteous customer service to tenants, employees, visitors and the public
  • Follow all site-specific post orders, emergency procedures and First Defence policies
  • Use Connecteam to clock in and out, review your schedule, receive updates and complete reports
  • Maintain a clean, complete uniform and present yourself professionally at all times
