Gate Security Officer (Residential Estate)

Residents and staff at a gated residential estate in Burgersfort need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Burgersfort, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
