Loss Prevention Officer (Distribution Centre) – Immediate Start

Retail in Soweto runs on thin margins, and an electronics store needs someone guarding its stock. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll report in Soweto. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers

• Able to handle confrontation calmly
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

• Discreet, observant and honest

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