Responsibilities

• Provide a visible, professional, and approachable security presence throughout each event.

• Monitor crowds, lines, and guest flow, identifying and reporting suspicious activity, safety hazards, and policy violations.
• Respond calmly and promptly to medical situations, disturbances, lost guests, and emergencies; escalate to supervisors and emergency services as needed.
• De-escalate conflicts courteously and professionally while maintaining a positive guest experience whenever possible.
• Assist guests with directions, questions, and accessibility needs as a helpful point of contact for the client.
• Support event setup, guest arrival, and venue clearing at the end of events.
