Access Control Officer (Grade C)

Steady 12-hour shifts at a distribution warehouse in Stellenbosch for PSIRA-registered officers. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags

• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
• Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
• Physically fit for foot patrols
• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

• Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
• Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
• Stable long-term site contracts
• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued

• List the types of sites you have guarded, like estate, mall or factory. Security companies place officers by site experience.
• Put your PSIRA number and grade right under your name. Recruiters check it on the PSIRA system before they even phone you.
