  3. How do you ensure you always present yourself professionally while on duty?
  4. Tell me about a time you had to deal with a difficult situation or person, how did you handle it?
  5. This role relies on punctuality and trust, how do you make sure you're always on time and prepared?
  6. What are the key things you check before locking up a site for the night?
  7. How would you report a safety issue or maintenance concern you notice during your shift?
