Job Description

A security company in Johannesburg CBD wants a firm, fair supervisor for its residential estate. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Investigate incidents and write reports for the client
  • Post officers when the shift changes over and cover no-shows
  • Order and issue uniform, radios and torches
  • Run on-site training on procedures and emergency drills
  • Check that PSIRA registrations of staff on site are current
  • Plan the monthly roster to stay within legal working hours

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Labour relations or basic supervision course
  • Handgun competency for armed supervisor posts
  • Mining or hospital security experience

On offer

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