- Lead and oversee Hoboken’s Fire Warden, Fire Evacuation, and Medical Teams, coordinating training, emergency preparedness, drill readiness, and follow-up actions.
- Identify site vulnerabilities, recurring incidents, and access or occupancy trends that may inform security assessments and crisis preparedness.
Incident Support and Investigations
- Document and follow up on routine security incidents, gathering access records, video, statements, and other relevant information as directed.
- Conduct preliminary reviews of minor incidents, establish a clear timeline of events, and identify matters requiring escalation to Global Physical Security leadership, HR, Legal, or law enforcement.
