ABOUT THORBURN SECURITY SOLUTIONS
Thorburn Security Solutions forms part of Tsebo Solutions Group, an African integrated workplace management solutions provider offering services across several business sectors. The organisation provides services that include catering, facilities management, cleaning and hygiene, pest control, protection services, energy, procurement, workspace design, engineering and remote camp solutions.
Through its security division, Thorburn provides protection services to clients operating in different industries. These environments require security personnel who understand the importance of access control, surveillance, risk prevention and professional interaction with employees, visitors and customers.
The organisation places importance on developing its employees and building a knowledgeable workforce that understands client requirements. Security officers are expected to contribute positively to the organisation by following established procedures and maintaining high standards of service.
KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The appointed Security Officer Grade C will perform various security-related duties to protect people, property and operational facilities. Responsibilities will include the following:
1. Protection and Safety Operations
Security officers will be responsible for safeguarding employees, visitors, buildings, vehicles, equipment and movable assets within their assigned locations. They must remain alert to activities taking place on the premises and take appropriate action when potential security concerns are identified. Maintaining a safe environment requires consistent observation, professional conduct and compliance with site-specific security procedures. Officers must also assist in protecting the general well-being of individuals entering or working within the assigned premises.
2. Access Control and Visitor Management
The successful candidates will monitor and control designated access points to ensure that only authorised individuals enter restricted areas. Duties will include checking visitors, monitoring entrances and exits, and regulating the movement of people and vehicles according to established procedures.
Where necessary, security officers will direct drivers and assist with traffic flow to prevent congestion and maintain order around the premises. They must ensure that access control procedures are followed consistently and that any suspicious or unauthorized entry attempts are reported.
3. Security Patrols and Surveillance
Regular patrols will form an important part of the daily responsibilities. Officers must inspect assigned buildings, perimeter areas, equipment and other sections of the premises to identify possible security weaknesses. They may also be required to monitor CCTV cameras, alarm systems and other surveillance equipment. During patrols, security personnel should look for unusual activities, damaged infrastructure, unauthorized access and other conditions that could create security risks. Any concerns identified must be reported through the appropriate channels.
4. Emergency Response and Incident Reporting
Security officers must respond promptly to alarms, emergencies, suspicious activities and reported security breaches. When incidents occur, they must follow the organisation’s emergency procedures and use the appropriate alarm or communication systems to request assistance when necessary.
The appointed employees will also be responsible for completing accurate incident reports, occurrence books and observation records. Reports should contain relevant information about what happened, when the incident occurred, the location involved and the actions taken. Accurate documentation is essential for investigations and future security planning.
5. Enforcement of Security Procedures and Compliance
The successful candidates must enforce company and client security policies within their assigned sites. They will be expected to understand applicable site rules and ensure that employees, visitors and contractors comply with relevant access and safety procedures. Security officers may also assist with emergency arrangements involving fire prevention, evacuation procedures and accident investigations. All duties must be performed in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and organisational requirements.
6. Security Equipment and Operational Readiness
Officers must ensure that their issued security equipment is functional and suitable for use. Regular checks should be carried out to identify damaged, defective or malfunctioning equipment. Any problems must be reported to the relevant supervisor immediately so that corrective action can be arranged. Maintaining operational readiness is important because security personnel must be able to respond effectively when incidents or emergencies occur.
7. Customer Service and Professional Conduct
Although security officers are responsible for enforcing site rules, they must also maintain a professional and helpful approach when interacting with people. They will communicate with employees, clients, contractors, visitors and members of the public. All interactions should be handled respectfully, calmly and professionally. The successful candidates must understand that their conduct represents both Thorburn Security Solutions and the client at whose premises they are assigned.
8. Risk Identification and Threat Prevention
Security officers must remain observant and identify circumstances that could threaten people, property or business operations. This includes recognizing suspicious behaviour, unusual movements, possible security breaches and weaknesses in site security arrangements. Potential risks must be addressed according to established procedures and reported to the appropriate management personnel.
