Reception Security Officer (Office Tower)

The gate at a private school campus in Welkom is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is in Welkom (Free State). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
• Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
• Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
• Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
• Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols

• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
• Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
• Clean criminal record
• Alert, polite and firm with the public

• Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
• Firefighting or evacuation training
• First-aid Level 1 certificate

• 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.
