Mine Security Supervisor

You'll run a shift of officers at a residential estate in Soweto, keeping posts covered and standards high. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll report in Soweto. Relocation is not covered for this one. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Do surprise night visits to check posts
• Plan the monthly roster to stay within legal working hours
• Post officers when the shift changes over and cover no-shows
• Meet the client weekly on security concerns
• Check that PSIRA registrations of staff on site are current
• Handle discipline issues fairly and keep written records
• Inspect guards on post for uniform, alertness and OB entries

• PSIRA Grade B (Grade A for area manager posts)
• Valid Code 8 licence and willing to drive between sites
• Matric, with a security management course a plus
• At least 3 years in security, including 1 as a supervisor
• Available after hours for emergencies
• Confident writer of incident reports and rosters

• Own reliable vehicle
• Mining or hospital security experience

• Cellphone allowance
• Provident fund and funeral cover
• Company vehicle or car allowance on area roles
• 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.
