Work-Force
A Security Officer is needed in Vanderbijlpark. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Gauteng operation.
About the Opportunity
The organisation is investing in its Vanderbijlpark 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.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the legal and security jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Security Officer 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.
Importantly, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Vanderbijlpark also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Importantly, inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Vanderbijlpark.
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Vanderbijlpark.
On top of that, the Vanderbijlpark 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.
