Job Description

Shrinkage hurts every retail distribution centre; in Centurion, you would be the one tracking it down. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Centurion; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Share trends with the store manager each week
  • Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour

Must-haves

  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

Nice if you have

  • Retail loss prevention course
  • Experience giving evidence in court
  • Previous store detective experience with case outcomes

On offer

  • Retail trading hours, no night shift in most stores
  • Monthly recovery incentives
  • Staff discount at the retailer

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA certificate and ID copy plus matric certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.
