Receiving Bay Security Checker – Immediate Start

Shrinkage hurts every supermarket; in Pietermaritzburg, you would be the one tracking it down. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.
