Security Officer

A Security Officer position is being filled in Boksburg. Suitable candidates from across Gauteng are invited to submit their applications for review.

About This Position

This Security Officer role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Boksburg. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the legal and security jobs pipeline across Gauteng.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

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.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Security Officer is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Gauteng is consistently high and consistently fair.

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.

Your Future Here

Beyond that, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the legal and security jobs team in Boksburg have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Boksburg team member.

Importantly, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Boksburg have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.

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.

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

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

In addition, 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.
