Job Context & High-Profile Contract Scope

Managing security operations for a major multinational corporate asset, such as the Sasol Head Office, requires a sophisticated blend of corporate professionalism, strategic asset protection, and logistical excellence. Servest Security prides itself on deploying elite management teams capable of representing global brand standards.

The Contract Manager – Security Operations acts as the primary operational anchor on site, bridging the gap between Servest’s corporate offices and Sasol’s executive risk stakeholders. Rather than handling basic guarding logistics, the incumbent will engineer and maintain an uncompromising, multi-tiered security framework. This framework covers high-volume corporate access control, executive protection logistics, physical surveillance network integration, and rapid disaster-response readiness. By balancing human capital management with strict cost-control and automated tracking workflows, you will ensure total alignment with the overarching service level agreements (SLAs).

Urgent Compliance Notice: This is a top-tier management position requiring active, valid PSIRA Grade A registration. Candidates who do not meet this regulatory baseline or lack a background managing high-profile corporate estates cannot be shortlisted for this specific selection loop.

• Organize and run unexpected site inspections, including strategic after-hours and weekend audit visits, to verify guard alertness and systemic adherence to site instructions.
