Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park) – Permanent

The gate at a gated residential estate in Johannesburg CBD is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Johannesburg CBD-based, with most of your time spent at a gated residential estate. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
• 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)
• Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed

• Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
• Clean criminal record
• Alert, polite and firm with the public
• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

• A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols
• Previous experience at a similar site type

• Provident fund contributions
• Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
• Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training

• 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.
