Job Description

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a business park in Middelburg (MP). You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work, day to day

  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • SAPS, SANDF or reservist background
  • Advanced driving course

What's in it for you

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