Loss Control Officer (Mall Stores) – Permanent

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at an electronics store in Tzaneen before they cost jobs. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Tzaneen-based, with most of your time spent at an electronics store. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers

• Discreet, observant and honest
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Able to handle confrontation calmly
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
• Good report writing

• Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports
• Previous store detective experience with case outcomes

• Monthly recovery incentives
• Staff discount at the retailer
• Retail trading hours, no night shift in most stores
