Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at a construction yard in Potchefstroom for PSIRA-registered officers. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Potchefstroom; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
  • Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed

You'll need

  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Alert, polite and firm with the public
  • Physically fit for foot patrols
  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date

On offer

  • Provident fund contributions
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
  • Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
  • Stable long-term site contracts

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Potchefstroom really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Grade 10 or matric certificate, certified copy of your ID plus PSIRA certificate and valid registration card.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.
