Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park)

Residents and staff at a distribution warehouse in East London need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

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

• Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
• Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
• Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags

• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
• Alert, polite and firm with the public
• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
• Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends

• Firefighting or evacuation training
• First-aid Level 1 certificate
• A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols

• Stable long-term site contracts
• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
• Provident fund contributions

• Put your PSIRA number and grade right under your name. Recruiters check it on the PSIRA system before they even phone you.
• Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
