Receiving Bay Security Checker – Entry Level

Retail in Alberton runs on thin margins, and an electronics store needs someone guarding its stock. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is in Alberton (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
• Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers

• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
• Good report writing
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

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