They assist in developing and implementing security protocols, procedures, and best practices to enhance overall aviation safety.
Candidates for this position must possess exceptional judgment, decision-making skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. They must demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skills, as well as the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Physical fitness, agility, and stamina are essential, as the role requires rigorous training and the ability to respond quickly and effectively in physically demanding situations.
