Job Description

Shrinkage hurts every building-supplies store; in Secunda, you would be the one tracking it down. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll report in Secunda. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
Share trends with the store manager each week
Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
Experience giving evidence in court

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric certificate, PSIRA certificate and ID copy plus loss prevention or investigation course certificates.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Secunda.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

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.
