Retail Security Officer (Clothing Store) – Fixed-Term

Retail in Krugersdorp runs on thin margins, and an electronics store needs someone guarding its stock. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Krugersdorp, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Good report writing

• Able to handle confrontation calmly
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act

• Monthly recovery incentives
