Tactical Response Officer (Night Shift)

Clients in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Vanderbijlpark pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is a mixed-use neighbourhood on the Vanderbijlpark side of Gauteng. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
• Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
• Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
• Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
• Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
• Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
• Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

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

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

• Response vehicle and firearm provided

• Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
