Undercover Floor Walker (Supermarket) – Entry Level

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at an electronics store in Sasolburg before they cost jobs. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Sasolburg, Free State. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
• Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
• Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors

• Good report writing
• Discreet, observant and honest

• Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
• Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports

• Staff discount at the retailer
