Undercover Floor Walker (Supermarket)

Shrinkage hurts every fashion retail store; in Mossel Bay, you would be the one tracking it down. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Mossel Bay. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
• Share trends with the store manager each week

• Able to handle confrontation calmly
• Discreet, observant and honest
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Good report writing
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act

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

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

• Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
• Show you know the legal limits of search and arrest. A single unlawful arrest can cost a store badly, so they will ask about it.
