Loss Control Officer (Mall Stores)

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a fashion retail store in Midrand before they cost jobs. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Midrand; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
