## 🚨 JOB ALERT: Permanent Security Officer at Wheco Group (Incanda) 🚨



Are you looking for a **permanent** role in the Western Cape with the stability of a manufacturing environment? **Wheco Group** is currently hiring a Security Officer for their Incanda site.

This isn't just your standard "sit-at-the-gate" job—it’s a dynamic, multi-tasking role perfect for someone who likes to stay busy and contribute to a team!

### 🔍 The Quick Specs

 * **Employer:** Wheco Group (Incanda)

 * **Location:** Western Cape (Various sites)

 * **Type:** Permanent

 * **Salary:** Market Related (Estimated **R7k – R11k CTC**)

 * **Closing Date:** 28 May 2026 (**31 Days Left!**)

### 🛡️ What You’ll Be Doing (The "Real" Job)

While your title is Security Officer, this is a **hybrid role**. You will be responsible for keeping the site safe, but you'll also be a key part of the operations team.

 * **Security:** Access control for visitors/vehicles and maintaining security registers.

 * **Operations:** Assisting as a **forklift assistant** during loading and offloading.

 * **Maintenance:** General housekeeping and assisting with waste removal 

### ✅ Minimum Requirements

To be considered, you **must** meet these non-negotiables:

 1. **Grade 12 (Matric):** Essential.

 2. **Experience:** Proven experience in security or access control.

 3. **Pro-Tip:** While the ad doesn't explicitly state it, you should have a **valid PSIRA Grade C** registration. Most SA firms require this for compliance!

 * **Physical Work:** This involves manual labor (waste removal and yard assistance). If you prefer a desk job, this isn't for you.

 * **Jack of All Trades:** You'll be asked to "assist across functions." Be ready to pivot from the gate to the warehouse floor.
