• Branch security reviews, test inspection records, and case management files are complete, accurate, up to date, and submitted by established deadlines.
• Service requests, equipment deficiencies, and repairs are prioritized and followed up on promptly, and damage or security incidents are investigated and resolved, with a calm and level-headed approach when issues arise unexpectedly.
• Work is managed independently and with initiative, while collaborating effectively with the Physical Security team, colleagues, and external business partners.
• Employees, business partners, and members receive responsive, professional support, and confidentiality, policy, and regulatory requirements are consistently upheld.
