Job Description

The gate at a gated residential estate in Richards Bay is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Richards Bay. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
  • Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer

What you need

  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
  • Speaks and writes basic English

What's in it for you

  • Stable long-term site contracts
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Richards Bay really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus Grade 10 or matric certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.
