Job Description

Shrinkage hurts every electronics store; in Mokopane, you would be the one tracking it down. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Mokopane-based, with most of your time spent at an electronics store.

What you'll actually do

  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Share trends with the store manager each week
  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy

Must-haves

  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
  • Experience giving evidence in court
  • Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports

On offer

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