• Keep people informed: Communicate timely, accurate and relevant information to stakeholders using established procedures and communication channels.
• Stay informed: Monitor domestic and international security developments, gathering intelligence that may affect our clients, their people, or their operations.
• Maintain accurate records: Document calls, communications, decisions, and incidents to ensure information is reliable, accessible, and available for follow-up.
• Work collaboratively: Act as a central point of contact between the Physical Security Department, security teams, and relevant stakeholders.
• Recognise and escalate: Identify unusual activity, emerging risks, complaints, and critical events, escalating concerns promptly to the SOC Supervisor or Manager.
• Support daily operations: Contribute to the smooth running of the SOC, following established procedures while applying sound judgement when situations Chan

• The ability to remain calm, professional, and focused under pressure.
• Sound judgement and decision-making skills in both routine and time-critical situations.
• The ability to manage competing priorities and multitask without losing attention to detail.
• A self-motivated approach, with the ability to follow procedures and work independently when required.
• A strong customer service mindset and a commitment to professional standards.
• The confidence to communicate effectively with security personnel, colleagues, and stakeholders at all levels.
• High ethical standards, discretion, and the ability to handle confidential and sensitive information responsibly.
