Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at an office tower in Durban Central for PSIRA-registered officers. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll report in Durban Central. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events

You'll need

  • Alert, polite and firm with the public
  • PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
  • Physically fit for foot patrols
  • Clean criminal record
  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous experience at a similar site type
  • Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: Grade 10 or matric certificate plus previous security employers' contact details.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Durban Central; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

  • List the types of sites you have guarded, like estate, mall or factory. Security companies place officers by site experience.
  • Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
