The Role
This Security Patrol Officer role sits within the legal and security jobs function in Kroonstad. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Free State.
The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Kroonstad team on trust, and the Security Patrol Officer role will feel that from week one.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the legal and security jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Kroonstad much easier.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the legal and security jobs group in Kroonstad.
Your Future Here

What Your Day Looks Like
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.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, the Kroonstad 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.
