Job Description

Blend in, watch closely and act lawfully: that is loss prevention at a building-supplies store in Benoni. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Benoni; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

What your day looks like

  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors

What you need

  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Good report writing
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least

Nice if you have

  • Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
  • Experience giving evidence in court

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA certificate and ID copy, loss prevention or investigation course certificates plus matric certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

How to stand out

  • Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
  • Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
