Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a business park in Randburg, you are the one who arrives first. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Randburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

The work, day to day

Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

What you need

PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
Calm under pressure and physically fit
At least 2 years in guarding or response
SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving

Helpful, not essential

Knowledge of the local streets and sectors
Advanced driving course

On offer

Group life cover through the provident fund
Regular refresher shooting practice
Danger and night allowances

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Randburg really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response, service record or reference letter from past security work plus driver's licence and ID copies.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Randburg.

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

Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
