Job Description

You'll control who comes in and out of a distribution warehouse in Gqeberha, and log every visitor properly. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Gqeberha-based, with most of your time spent at a distribution warehouse. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Hand out and collect contractor access cards
  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events

Must-haves

  • Alert, polite and firm with the public
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
  • PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
  • Physically fit for foot patrols

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
  • A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols

On offer

  • Provident fund contributions
  • Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
  • Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: previous security employers' contact details plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.
