The institution
BOLO Institute of Technology is a technology-focused higher-education institution in Cameroon, architected around three pathways — Higher National Diploma, Bachelor's and Master's — and being developed to prepare technology professionals, innovators, researchers and entrepreneurs for opportunities in Cameroon, across Africa and internationally.
BOLO IT is being built around a distinctive educational model: rigorous academics combined with hands-on laboratories, real-world projects, internships, professional certifications, mentorship and instruction shaped by experienced technology practitioners. The institution is intentionally globally oriented, AI-enabled and Silicon Valley-inspired.
Our ambition
A student educated at BOLO IT in Cameroon should leave with the academic foundation, practical capability, AI fluency, professional exposure and confidence to compete with technology talent anywhere in the world.
The opportunity
The two positions cover campus security and campus cleanliness across a four-floor building containing classrooms, computer laboratories and offices. The work begins before the institution opens — securing the site through the equipment installation period — and continues through the teaching year on a shift pattern covering the hours the building is in use, with responsibility for opening, closing and the condition of every teaching space.
Leadership mandate
- Keep the campus, its equipment and above all its people safe.
- Have every teaching space clean and ready before the first class of the day.
- Control who enters the building, courteously and consistently.
- Protect a substantial investment in laboratory and classroom equipment.
- Respond calmly and correctly when something goes wrong.
- Represent the institution well to everyone who arrives at the door.
Core responsibilities
Campus security
Control access to the building, monitor entry and exit, maintain the visitor record, and patrol the floors on a regular pattern during and outside teaching hours.
Opening & closing
Open and secure the building each day, check that rooms, laboratories, windows and equipment are locked and switched off, and manage keys and access.
Cleaning & presentation
Clean classrooms, laboratories, offices, corridors and washrooms to a set daily standard, and keep teaching spaces ready between sessions.
Equipment care
Clean around computer and laboratory equipment correctly and safely, and report damage, faults or missing items promptly.
Incident response
Follow the institution's procedure for emergencies, fire alarms, accidents and security incidents, and report accurately to the Facilities / Operations Lead.
Supplies & reporting
Monitor cleaning and washroom supplies, request replenishment before they run out, and keep the daily log the campus is run from.
Required qualifications
- No formal academic qualification is required; reliability and trustworthiness matter most.
- Previous experience in security, caretaking, cleaning or facilities work is an advantage.
- For the security position, recognised security training or prior guarding experience is preferred.
- Physically able to patrol a four-floor building and carry out cleaning duties.
- Willing to work a shift pattern, including early starts and evening cover.
- Able to communicate courteously in English or French, and to keep a simple written log.
The leader we are looking for
These roles suit people who take pride in a place being right, and who can be trusted with a building full of equipment and young people.
- Trustworthiness
- Holds keys, access and an empty building without anyone needing to check.
- Reliability
- Arrives on time, every shift, and the campus is ready because of it.
- Alertness
- Notices what is out of place — a door, a stranger, a smell of burning.
- Care for the place
- Cleans behind things, not only in front of them.
- Courtesy
- Firm with access control and polite with everyone, including at the end of a long shift.
- Calm in incident
- Follows the procedure under pressure and reports it accurately.
