Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at an industrial park in Alberton for PSIRA-registered officers. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Alberton, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
  • Hand out and collect contractor access cards
  • Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
  • Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register

Must-haves

  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • Clean criminal record
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
  • Firefighting or evacuation training
  • A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols

What you get

  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
  • Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
  • Stable long-term site contracts

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: Grade 10 or matric certificate, certified copy of your ID plus PSIRA certificate and valid registration card.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted
