Tactical Response Officer (Night Shift)

When a panic button goes off in a business park in Johannesburg CBD, you are the one who arrives first. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
