Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a business park in Mamelodi, 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.

This post is in Mamelodi (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

The work, day to day

  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details

Must-haves

  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response

Helpful, not essential

  • Advanced driving course
  • First-aid Level 2 or 3
  • Knowledge of the local streets and sectors

What's in it for you

  • Regular refresher shooting practice
  • Group life cover through the provident fund
  • Response vehicle and firearm provided

How to apply

  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: firearm competency certificate plus driver's licence and ID copies.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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

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

  • Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
  • Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
