Loss Prevention Officer (Distribution Centre)

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at an electronics store in Germiston before they cost jobs. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Germiston-based, with most of your time spent at an electronics store. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
• Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
• Share trends with the store manager each week
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

• Good report writing
• Discreet, observant and honest
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

• Retail loss prevention course
• Previous store detective experience with case outcomes

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

• 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.
