Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at a distribution warehouse in Johannesburg CBD for PSIRA-registered officers. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll be based at a distribution warehouse in Johannesburg CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What you'll actually do

  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
  • Hand out and collect contractor access cards
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed

You'll need

  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
  • Alert, polite and firm with the public
  • Physically fit for foot patrols
  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

Nice if you have

  • First-aid Level 1 certificate
  • A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols
  • Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers

What you get

  • Stable long-term site contracts
  • Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
