But how did you become an auxiliary service and firefighter?
His vocation was not always clear to him. As a child and due to the influence of his father, who was an airplane mechanic, Jorge dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, but later he discovered his true destiny in the military service.
During his time in the service, he learned about the profession of military airport firefighter and knew right away that this was what he wanted to do.
After passing the competitive examinations and completing the training, Jorge Santos was already part of the fire department, where he has now been for 19 years.
Some time later, a colleague at the Torrejón air base told him about a temporary vacancy for a security position, and without hesitation, Jorge applied!
Thanks to his knowledge of safety, management of stressful situations and good communication with people, Jorge joined WORKOUT as a service assistant, without leaving his job as a firefighter.
Service assistant, Security guard, Access control assistant, Image assistant and VIP escort.These are the positions that Jorge held for 10 years, until one year ago he decided to take the leap to the coordination of the security departmentwhere it manages all the security profiles mentioned above.

EVENTS… What do you consider to have been the strengths that have led you to achieve these promotions?
R: Having confidence in myself and the way I have worked.
Both things have served as a background for people to trust me with projects and see me as capable.
Now that you are Personnel Coordinator of the Madrid Security Services Department, what is your next goal and how do you plan to achieve it?
R: After 11 years working at WORKOUT events, I know virtually the entire security team, as I have been a partner and coordinator.
The atmosphere among us is very good and we trust each other, so my current challenge is to make sure that this good workflow is maintained and that together we continue to grow the quality of the Madrid security department.
On a professional level, what characteristics do you value most in the people around you?
R: Sympathy, companionship ande people to be hard-working
Doing something you love once a day gives you the energy you need to do those things you don’t like so much . What gives you that energy in your life?
R: What I am most passionate about is playing sports, in fact…. Now I’m taking it up again!
I missed exercise a lot, I even felt a little frustrated for not being able to practice it, because for some years now, due to changes in my routine and personal issues, I have put it aside.
The sport I like the most is basketball, I was even federated, but I have also practiced fronton, golf and lately I do cycling.
My goal is to have a tablet again!
