Job Description

Residents and staff at a distribution warehouse in eMalahleni need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

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

  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors

What you need

  • Alert, polite and firm with the public
  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
  • Clean criminal record

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): previous security employers' contact details plus PSIRA certificate and valid registration card.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
