A Control Room Operator position is being filled in Odendaalsrus. Suitable candidates from across Free State are invited to submit their applications for review.
About This Position
This Control Room Operator role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Odendaalsrus. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the legal and security jobs pipeline across Free State.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Odendaalsrus team.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Control Room Operator to step into the legal and security jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

A Typical Day
Your day is built on focus and detail. You work through matter files or post lists, review evidence or contracts and check that every required record is in place. Communication with site teams, attorneys, clients or SAPS is constant, and you keep your reports factual, precise and timely. When something out of the ordinary happens, you respond calmly and follow procedure, knowing that good documentation today protects the business tomorrow.
The rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Notably, the Odendaalsrus office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Odendaalsrus.
