Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Gqeberha, you are the one who arrives first. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

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

  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room

  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course

  • Regular refresher shooting practice

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Gqeberha really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): firearm competency certificate plus PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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.

Before you hit apply

  • Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
