Job Description

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a mixed-use neighbourhood in Secunda. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

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

What your day looks like

  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end

What you need

  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Secunda really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: service record or reference letter from past security work plus firearm competency certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
  • Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
