Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park) – Fixed-Term

The gate at a private school campus in Tembisa is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Tembisa; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
• Hand out and collect contractor access cards

• Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
• 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

• Firefighting or evacuation training
• Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
• A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols

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

• 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.
