Patrol Officer (Warehouse Perimeter)

The gate at an industrial park in Kempton Park is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is in Kempton Park (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Hand out and collect contractor access cards
• Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
• Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events

• Clean criminal record
• Alert, polite and firm with the public
• Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

• Stable long-term site contracts
• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
• Provident fund contributions

• 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.
