Security Officer

A vacancy has been confirmed for a Security Officer based in Mmabatho, North West. The successful candidate will join an established team within the legal and security jobs function.

The Role

The organisation is investing in its Mmabatho operation, and this Security Officer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the legal and security jobs function and contribute to the wider North West business.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the legal and security jobs team in North West make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

In addition, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Mmabatho also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

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 Mmabatho.

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 Mmabatho much easier.

On top of that, the team mix in Mmabatho reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Where You’ll Work

Crucially, the environment is process-driven and regulation-aware. Whether you are at a desk or on site, attention to detail, calm conduct and accurate reporting are non-negotiable.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Mmabatho site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

On top of that, a respectful, professional environment is the standard in North West. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
