Retail Security Officer (Clothing Store) – Immediate Start

Home base is an electronics store on the Brackenfell side of Western Cape.

• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy

• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial

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

• Good report writing

• Plain clothes work (no uniform in detective roles)
