Reception Security Officer (Office Tower)

The gate at a gated residential estate in Kathu is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Kathu; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
• Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
• Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
• Hand out and collect contractor access cards
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors

• Clean criminal record
• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
• Alert, polite and firm with the public
• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date

• Previous experience at a similar site type

• Provident fund contributions
