Job Description

Clients in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Phalaborwa pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Phalaborwa, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end

You'll need

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

On offer

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

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): firearm competency certificate plus PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.
