Job Description

Residents and staff at an office tower in Boksburg need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

What you'll actually do

  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
  • Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)

  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Clean criminal record

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous experience at a similar site type
  • Firefighting or evacuation training

What's in it for you

  • Provident fund contributions

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Boksburg really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: previous security employers' contact details, 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.

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

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.

How to stand out

  • List the types of sites you have guarded, like estate, mall or factory. Security companies place officers by site experience.
  • Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
