Receiving Bay Security Checker – Immediate Start

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a retail distribution centre in Epping before they cost jobs. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
• Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
• 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
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
• Discreet, observant and honest
• Good report writing
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
• Able to handle confrontation calmly

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

• Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
• Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
