Job Description

You'll answer alarms across a business park in Rustenburg in a marked vehicle, armed and ready. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Rustenburg, North West. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What you'll actually do

  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

What you need

  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response
  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course

Helpful, not essential

  • Advanced driving course
  • SAPS, SANDF or reservist background

On offer

  • Response vehicle and firearm provided
  • Group life cover through the provident fund
  • Regular refresher shooting practice
  • Danger and night allowances

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: service record or reference letter from past security work plus PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

  • Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
  • Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
