Loss Prevention Officer (Distribution Centre)

Retail in Secunda runs on thin margins, and a fashion retail store needs someone guarding its stock. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Secunda-based, with most of your time spent at a fashion retail store.

• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
• Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
• Share trends with the store manager each week

• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
• Able to handle confrontation calmly
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
• Discreet, observant and honest

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

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

• 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.
