Register Your CV and Apply for Security Jobs
Are you looking for SSG Security vacancies in South Africa in 2026? SSG Holdings recruits security personnel for different operations, including security services within the mining sector.
Job seekers interested in becoming Security Officers should keep their CV, PSIRA registration and supporting documents updated so they are ready when suitable positions become available.
Recent recruitment activity from SSG Holdings confirms that the company is actively advertising security-related opportunities in South Africa.
About SSG Security
SSG Holdings provides security and related services in South Africa. Its recruitment activity includes roles connected to guarding and specialised security operations, particularly within mining environments.
Depending on operational and client requirements, opportunities can range from entry-level Security Officers to experienced supervisors and management positions.
Types of SSG Security Jobs to Look Out For
Vacancies can change throughout the year, but job seekers interested in SSG should watch for positions such as:
- Security Officer Grade C
- Security Officer Grade B
- Security Officer Grade A
- Supervisors
- Site and Contract Managers
- Area Managers
- Mining Security positions
- Control-room and specialised security opportunities
Applicants should not assume the same requirements apply to every position. Always read the individual SSG vacancy before applying.
SSG Grade C Security Officer Opportunities
A recent 2026 SSG Security recruitment advert reported Grade C Security Officer opportunities in Steelpoort, Limpopo, within a mining environment.
The advertised requirements included PSIRA Grade C registration and at least Grade 10, together with other site-specific requirements. The positions were project-based contracts.
This is important for WorkJob readers because it shows that some SSG Security positions may accept Grade 10, although this should never be presented as the requirement for every SSG vacancy.
Common Requirements
Requirements depend on the position and site. Security Officer vacancies may ask for qualifications or documentation such as:
- Valid PSIRA registration at the required grade
- Grade 10, Grade 12 or another specified qualification
- South African ID or appropriate documentation
- Updated CV
- Good verbal and written communication
- Ability to work shifts
- Relevant security experience where required
- Medical fitness for certain environments
- Driver’s licence for certain positions
- Firearm competency for armed or specialised positions
- First Aid or other site-specific training
Applicants should apply only for positions matching their PSIRA grade and qualifications.
Working in Mining Security
SSG has advertised security positions connected to mining operations. These roles can have stricter requirements because officers may work in complex and higher-risk environments.
Recent SSG recruitment information has referenced duties and requirements relating to physical security deployment, illegal-mining prevention, asset-theft prevention, incident management and mining-security operations.
Applicants may therefore need relevant mining-security experience for senior or specialised positions.
Background Checks
Depending on the vacancy, candidates may be required to undergo recruitment and suitability checks.
A recent SSG-related mining-security vacancy included checks such as criminal and employment-background screening and other suitability assessments.
Always provide accurate information on your CV and application.
How to Apply for SSG Security Jobs in 2026
Application methods vary by vacancy. Some SSG positions may require an online application, while others provide a specific email address or physical CV-submission location.
For example, a recent Grade C Steelpoort recruitment drive instructed applicants to submit CVs at the Tubatse Ferrochrome Main Gate, rather than using a generic online application.

Prepare Your Security CV
Before applying, make sure your CV clearly shows your PSIRA grade, registration status, education, previous security experience and current contact details.
Keep copies of relevant certificates ready because the specific vacancy may request them.
Can You Apply With Grade 10?
Yes, for some vacancies.
A recent SSG Grade C Security Officer recruitment advert in Steelpoort specified at least Grade 10 alongside PSIRA Grade C and other requirements.
However, applicants should not assume that all SSG positions accept Grade 10. A different client site may require Matric, experience, a driver’s licence, firearm competency or additional qualifications.
Important Warning
Be careful with adverts circulating on Facebook, WhatsApp and unofficial job websites that claim SSG is hiring huge numbers of workers without providing a verifiable source.
I found third-party adverts making broad claims about SSG recruitment that I could not verify as current official SSG vacancies, so I would not recommend publishing those claims as confirmed jobs.
Use the official company information whenever possible and never pay anyone to secure a security job.
