Careers
A division of United Business Solutions
Great security is sold once.
It is delivered every day.
Intervid Africa is building the future of intelligent security. Behind every camera, reader and controller we install is a team that plans the job, orders the stock, sends the right technician, signs it off and invoices it. We are hiring for that team: technicians who leave every site better than they found it, coordinators who keep projects moving, and managers who run a branch like their own business.

Why this team matters
Security isn't cameras and doors anymore. It's data. Intelligence. Prediction.
None of it works unless it is installed properly, documented properly and supported properly. That is the job of our technical and admin team, and it is where customers decide whether to trust us again.
01
Do the work properly. Clean installations, accurate as-builts and sign-off on the day. The standard is set on site, not in the office.
02
Close every loop. Orders placed, technicians scheduled and completed work invoiced daily. Nothing sits un-billed and nothing falls through the cracks.
03
Grow with the group. Manufacturer training, a national footprint and a twenty-year group behind you. Prove yourself and the next role is yours to win.
What we look for
Four things. Non-negotiable.
Drive
Self-motivated, with evidence of achievement — not titles, outcomes. This role should be your big chance, and you should be hungry for it.
Curiosity
You stay current on where security technology is going, and you have informed opinions about it.
Take Action
You start, you finish, you close loops. You bring solutions with the problems you find.
Ethics
No hiding the truth — ever. In security, integrity is the product. "I don't know, but here's how I'd find out" beats a bluff every time.
We weigh potential intelligence and aptitude over raw years of experience. A shorter track record with an exceptional written answer to our hardest-problem question will get you the same interview as a fifteen-year CV. Technical fluency can be taught; judgement and curiosity are harder to install.
Our hiring funnel
Read carefully. This is the first test.
Only candidates who follow the full process will be considered.
01
Apply using the form below, attaching your CV.
02
Include a written answer to this question: "Tell me about the hardest problem you have ever solved at work. How exactly did you solve it? Describe every step." Each role below says what kind of problem we want to hear about.
03
In the reference field, enter your answer to the screening question listed on the role you are applying for.
04
Shortlisted candidates complete a short practical assessment and a structured interview.
05
Final-stage candidates undergo two verified reference checks.
Applications that do not follow all five steps will not be considered. A four-month probation period applies.

The hub of our Gauteng projects team. Every project we sell has to be ordered, scheduled, installed, documented and invoiced, and you make sure all five happen on time. Work that is completed but not invoiced is lost revenue. In this seat, you own that gap and close it every day.

Branch & Sales Manager (KwaZulu-Natal)
Westville, Durban · Full-time · Permanent · Reference IV-BSM-KZN-01 · Applications open until filled
KwaZulu-Natal is one of the regions where we are growing fastest, and we need one person to own it. You will win the business, then run the branch that delivers it: the technicians, the installations, the service calls and the customer who phones you at 18h00 because a gate will not open.
What you will own
- The KZN number: hunt and close new CCTV, access control, T&A and integrated security business across Durban, the coasts, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands.
- The branch: job scheduling, installation quality, SLA turnaround, vehicles, stock and site safety.
- Turning sales into installations that work, scoped with our engineers and handed over cleanly.
- Margin: approve quotes, watch labour and parts on every job, and make sure out-of-contract work is invoiced.
- An honest CRM and a forecast you would stake your reputation on.
- Coaching the team, with weekly one-on-ones and clear targets.
What we require
- Evidence of closing complex B2B deals. Five or more years in security, office automation or B2B technology sales, some of it leading people, is a good head start; aptitude counts for more.
