Mine Security Supervisor

You'll run a shift of officers at a hospital complex in Soweto, keeping posts covered and standards high. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

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

• Investigate incidents and write reports for the client
• Check that PSIRA registrations of staff on site are current
• Run on-site training on procedures and emergency drills
• Inspect guards on post for uniform, alertness and OB entries
• Meet the client weekly on security concerns
• Do surprise night visits to check posts

• PSIRA Grade B (Grade A for area manager posts)
• Valid Code 8 licence and willing to drive between sites
• At least 3 years in security, including 1 as a supervisor
• Confident writer of incident reports and rosters
• Firm with staff but fair and consistent

• Company vehicle or car allowance on area roles
• Provident fund and funeral cover
• Cellphone allowance
• Management training for growth to operations manager

• Say how many officers you supervised and on which sites. The number matters more than the title.
• Mention how you handled absenteeism or roster gaps. It is the biggest daily headache for security companies.
