Job Description

Clients in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Sandton pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Sandton-based, with most of your time spent at a mixed-use neighbourhood.

What you'll actually do

  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs

Must-haves

  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response

Nice if you have

  • First-aid Level 2 or 3
  • Advanced driving course

What you get

  • Regular refresher shooting practice
  • Response vehicle and firearm provided
  • Group life cover through the provident fund
  • Danger and night allowances

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Sandton really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: service record or reference letter from past security work plus driver's licence and ID copies.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Sandton; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
  • Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
