• Ensure all doors, gates, and access points remain secure during shift hours.
• Respond calmly and effectively to any emergencies, following established safety protocols.
• Maintain clear and accurate shift logs, including all checks, incidents, and communications.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in security, fire prevention, facilities maintenance, or a related role preferred.
• Ability to work overnight shifts independently with minimal supervision.
• Physically able to walk, stand, and patrol the facility for the duration of the shift.
• Attention to detail and strong observational skills.
• Basic understanding of fire prevention principles, especially related to composting operations, is a plus.
• Dependable, punctual, and committed to safety and accountability.
