Access Control Officer (Grade C)

Residents and staff at an office tower in Richards Bay need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

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