I started working as Security Officer with AMC Security. After working with them for a year, the Ops Manager saw my potential and advised me to further advance my career as Security Supervisor. Besides, my NS stint as Military Policeman and my admin skills helped me to further advance and perform well in my current role as Security Supervisor at Peregrine.

I am responsible for deployment of security officers, maintaining daily reports, and ensuring a conducive work environment, etc. I also work closely with the site management and study on the exact requirement expected and try to produce results par excellence. My focus remains to gain and keep the client’s trust in the security team intact.

As what I like most about my role as a Security Supervisor is the ability to improve the image of Security officers in the eyes of others. We are no more “guards” as perceived by others. We are the frontline responders, brand ambassadors, and the facilitators at business premises that support its smooth and safe functioning.

Seeing my peers gradually grow from mere Officers to Supervisors and later lead their team of officers. Having to hear people commenting on how well I groomed them is a bonus.
