You are analytical and have very good teamwork skills, while also being able to independently plan, execute, and complete your work.

In your role, you will have significant individual responsibility for your tasks while working together with your colleagues in a team at the security unit. In the assignment, you also work outwardly towards the business. Therefore, it is important that you have a good ability to create and maintain relationships, where the combination of good treatment and reliability in delivery is a success factor for you. You are confident in yourself and have high integrity, which you can balance against your understanding of the business's needs and conditions.

You work in a structured manner and can prioritize and delimit your work based on the assignment.
