Job Description

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a retail distribution centre in Krugersdorp before they cost jobs. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

Location: Krugersdorp, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy

Must-haves

  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
  • Discreet, observant and honest

What you get

  • Monthly recovery incentives
  • Retail trading hours, no night shift in most stores
  • Plain clothes work (no uniform in detective roles)

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Krugersdorp really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: loss prevention or investigation course certificates, matric certificate plus PSIRA certificate and ID copy.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Krugersdorp; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
  • Show you know the legal limits of search and arrest. A single unlawful arrest can cost a store badly, so they will ask about it.
