Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park)

The gate at a gated residential estate in Paarl is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is in Paarl (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Hand out and collect contractor access cards
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
• 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

• Physically fit for foot patrols
• Speaks and writes basic English
• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
• Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
• Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends

• Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
• Firefighting or evacuation training

• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
• Stable long-term site contracts
• Provident fund contributions
• Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules

• Put your PSIRA number and grade right under your name. Recruiters check it on the PSIRA system before they even phone you.
