• Wear the correct uniform and personal protective equipment (PPE), ensuring high standards of personal hygiene and appearance during every shift
• Engage professionally with customers and building occupants while working in their areas, responding to any issues politely and immediately
• Clean and maintain workplace facilities including fridges, dishwashers, coffee machines, and breakout points to ensure they remain hygienic and presentable
