Security Area Manager (Night Rounds)

Step up from guarding into supervising on a retail portfolio in Cape Town CBD. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Cape Town CBD, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Run on-site training on procedures and emergency drills
• Do surprise night visits to check posts
• Plan the monthly roster to stay within legal working hours
• Check that PSIRA registrations of staff on site are current
• Order and issue uniform, radios and torches

• Valid Code 8 licence and willing to drive between sites
• Available after hours for emergencies
• PSIRA Grade B (Grade A for area manager posts)
• Firm with staff but fair and consistent
• At least 3 years in security, including 1 as a supervisor
• Matric, with a security management course a plus

• Own reliable vehicle
• Computer skills for rosters in Excel or a workforce app
• Labour relations or basic supervision course

• Company vehicle or car allowance on area roles
• Cellphone allowance
• Management training for growth to operations manager
• Provident fund and funeral cover

• Mention how you handled absenteeism or roster gaps. It is the biggest daily headache for security companies.
• Say how many officers you supervised and on which sites. The number matters more than the title.
