Mine Security Supervisor

Step up from guarding into supervising on a hospital complex in Umlazi. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Umlazi-based, with most of your time spent at a hospital complex.

• Meet the client weekly on security concerns
• Handle discipline issues fairly and keep written records
• Plan the monthly roster to stay within legal working hours
• Do surprise night visits to check posts
• Order and issue uniform, radios and torches
• Post officers when the shift changes over and cover no-shows
• Run on-site training on procedures and emergency drills

• Valid Code 8 licence and willing to drive between sites
• At least 3 years in security, including 1 as a supervisor
• Firm with staff but fair and consistent
• Matric, with a security management course a plus
• PSIRA Grade B (Grade A for area manager posts)
• Available after hours for emergencies

• Handgun competency for armed supervisor posts
• Mining or hospital security experience

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

• 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.
