Job Description

You'll run a shift of officers at a retail portfolio in Pietermaritzburg, keeping posts covered and standards high. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Pietermaritzburg-based, with most of your time spent at a retail portfolio. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Check that PSIRA registrations of staff on site are current
  • Post officers when the shift changes over and cover no-shows
  • Meet the client weekly on security concerns
  • Plan the monthly roster to stay within legal working hours
  • Do surprise night visits to check posts
  • Run on-site training on procedures and emergency drills

You'll need

  • At least 3 years in security, including 1 as a supervisor
  • Matric, with a security management course a plus
  • Firm with staff but fair and consistent
  • Valid Code 8 licence and willing to drive between sites

What's in it for you

  • Provident fund and funeral cover
  • Company vehicle or car allowance on area roles
  • Cellphone allowance

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: supervision or labour relations certificates plus PSIRA Grade B certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pietermaritzburg.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

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