To succeed in the role, you are responsible, engaged, and safety-conscious. You are well-organized, see what needs to be done, and have an eye for detail. Furthermore, you contribute to good teamwork. Since you will work in an operation where a welcoming attitude is important, you enjoy meeting visitors in various contexts where information, referral, and other services are part of your duties.
