Job Description

Shrinkage hurts every electronics store; in Montague Gardens, you would be the one tracking it down. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Montague Gardens (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

Must-haves

  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Good report writing

Nice if you have

  • Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
  • Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports
  • Retail loss prevention course

On offer

  • Plain clothes work (no uniform in detective roles)
  • Staff discount at the retailer
  • Monthly recovery incentives

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Montague Gardens really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA certificate and ID copy plus loss prevention or investigation course certificates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.
