Job Description

  • Talk down intruders over on-site speakers when the system allows
  • Report camera faults and offline sites to the technicians
  • Hand over open incidents clearly at shift change
  • Keep call-out times and client passwords up to date

Must-haves

  • Good memory for sites, streets and procedures
  • Clear speaking voice on radio and phone
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C or higher
  • No criminal convictions (vetting is done before you start)

  • Experience on a CCTV or alarm monitoring platform
  • CCTV operator short course
  • Speaking more than one local language

What you get
