Site Security Officer (Construction Yard)

The gate at a gated residential estate in Randburg is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The work is in Randburg, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
• Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
• Hand out and collect contractor access cards

• Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
• Physically fit for foot patrols
• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
• Speaks and writes basic English
• Clean criminal record
• Alert, polite and firm with the public

• Firefighting or evacuation training
• A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols

• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
• Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
• Stable long-term site contracts

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