About the Position
The Security Clerk will play an important role in maintaining a safe and secure environment at municipal facilities and bus station buildings operated by the City of Ekurhuleni.
The role involves protecting government property against unauthorised use, carrying out security patrols and monitoring security systems. The successful applicant will also interact directly with members of the public, municipal employees, law enforcement agencies and other relevant stakeholders.
Because the position combines security duties with public-facing responsibilities, candidates should be able to remain professional and alert while dealing with queries, complaints and situations that may require immediate attention.

Candidates should ensure that their qualifications and professional registration are relevant to the requirements of the position. Where requested, applicants may also need to provide evidence confirming the NQF level of their qualifications.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
The appointed candidate will be responsible for a range of security, monitoring and public assistance duties.
Key responsibilities include protecting municipal and government property from unauthorised use and helping maintain effective security controls around the facilities.
The Security Clerk will conduct routine patrols across both interior and exterior areas of government properties. These patrols will help identify potential security concerns and ensure that established security procedures are being followed.
The successful candidate will also monitor technical alarm systems installed within government buildings and respond appropriately when an alarm or security alert is activated.
Another important aspect of the position is maintaining effective working relationships with local law enforcement agencies. The employee may need to cooperate with relevant authorities when security incidents or other concerns arise.
The position also requires observation of members of the public entering station buildings. The Security Clerk will be expected to remain vigilant for unusual or irrational behaviour and respond in accordance with applicable procedures.
Additional duties may include issuing parking enforcement control tickets when required and providing first aid to members of the public or municipal employees who sustain injuries while on the premises.
The employee will also provide assistance to members of the public by responding to queries and complaints. Telephonic enquiries must be handled professionally and referred to the appropriate stakeholder where the matter falls outside the employee’s responsibilities.
