Site Security Officer (Construction Yard) – Immediate Start

Residents and staff at a gated residential estate in Komani need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Komani (Eastern Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
• Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
• Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
• Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed

• Alert, polite and firm with the public
• Clean criminal record
• Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

• Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
• A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols
• First-aid Level 1 certificate

• Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
• Stable long-term site contracts
• Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
• Provident fund contributions

• 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.
