Job Description

Step up from guarding into supervising on a residential estate in Mthatha. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Mthatha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Meet the client weekly on security concerns
  • Run on-site training on procedures and emergency drills
  • Post officers when the shift changes over and cover no-shows
  • Handle discipline issues fairly and keep written records
  • Check that PSIRA registrations of staff on site are current
  • Order and issue uniform, radios and torches
  • Do surprise night visits to check posts

Must-haves

  • PSIRA Grade B (Grade A for area manager posts)
  • Valid Code 8 licence and willing to drive between sites
  • Firm with staff but fair and consistent
  • Available after hours for emergencies
  • Matric, with a security management course a plus
  • Confident writer of incident reports and rosters

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): supervision or labour relations certificates, references from security managers you worked under plus driver's licence copy.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
