Security Supervisor

About this role

Administration and transport keep the offices, sites and townships running — reception, office services, security, housekeeping, and the vehicles that move people between them.

Supervise site security across shifts: access control, visitor management, the guard roster and the incident log.

At the site locations this is not back-office work. The shift bus on the ghat road is how people get to work at all, and the township water supply is what residents notice first when it fails.

Primary responsibilities

• Supervise the security team and the shift roster
• Manage access control, visitor management and material movement
• Patrol and inspect, and check that the guards are actually doing the same
• Investigate and report security incidents
• Liaise with the local police and the security agency

Skills required

Day to day this role works with Security Operations, Access Control and Incident Reporting.

• Three or more years in a security supervisory role
• Clear incident reporting — writing it down properly is most of the job
• Three or more years in security, including supervising a team
• Access control, visitor management and material movement control
• Patrol and inspection discipline, including checking that guards are doing the same
• Incident investigation and reporting
• Liaison with local police and a security agency

Preferred

None of these are required. They are the things that would help, and a strong application is regularly missing all of them.
