Security Officer

An opportunity has arisen for a Security Officer in Boksburg. Suitably qualified candidates from across Gauteng are invited to apply.

The Role

The organisation is investing in its Boksburg 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 Gauteng 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 Boksburg team.

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

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Boksburg teams, and the new Security Officer will feel that from the first week.

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 Boksburg much easier.

Your Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the legal and security jobs side of the business inside out. The Boksburg group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Crucially, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Boksburg will be explained during the hiring process.

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.

Common Questions

Is this position open to recent graduates?

Yes. Provided the minimum requirements listed above are met, graduates are warmly encouraged to put their names forward.

Is this position open to candidates from other provinces?

Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates who can meet the advertised location and work-schedule requirements.

Are reference and background checks conducted?

Importantly, yes. Reference, qualification and any role-appropriate background checks are conducted in line with applicable law.

The Environment

On top of that, 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 Boksburg site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Equally, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Gauteng.

In addition, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

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.

On top of that, the Boksburg 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.

Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Boksburg.
