Patrol Officer (Warehouse Perimeter) – Permanent

You'll control who comes in and out of a private school campus in Secunda, and log every visitor properly. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Secunda (Mpumalanga). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Hand out and collect contractor access cards
• Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
• Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors

• Alert, polite and firm with the public
• Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
• Speaks and writes basic English
• Clean criminal record

• Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
• Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
• Stable long-term site contracts
• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued

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