What This Role Involves
The organisation is investing in its Somerset West operation, and this Security Guard position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the legal and security jobs function and contribute to the wider Western Cape business.
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 Somerset West team.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Somerset West site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Practically speaking, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Western Cape.
