Access Control Officer (Grade C)

You'll control who comes in and out of a gated residential estate in Newcastle, and log every visitor properly. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Newcastle; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
• Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
• Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
• Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols

• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
• Alert, polite and firm with the public
• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
• Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
• Clean criminal record

• Firefighting or evacuation training
• First-aid Level 1 certificate
• Previous experience at a similar site type

• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
• Stable long-term site contracts
• Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training

• Arrive for the interview in neat clothes with your certificates in a plastic sleeve. It shows the discipline they want.
• Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
