Work-Force
A Loss Prevention Officer is needed in Pretoria. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Gauteng operation.
About the Opportunity
The Loss Prevention Officer position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Gauteng. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Pretoria and across the retail jobs space.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Pretoria team.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Pretoria teams, and the new Loss Prevention Officer will feel that from the first week.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the retail jobs group in Pretoria.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Loss Prevention Officer to step into the retail jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
What Your Day Looks Like
Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage. By the afternoon, you might be receiving a delivery, training a new team member or planning the next promotion, and by close of business you’re cashing up, balancing reports and getting the store ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Pretoria.
Notably, the Pretoria office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Growing With Us
Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The retail jobs space in Pretoria offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Gauteng.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Pretoria team member.
Equally, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Pretoria have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.

Your Workplace
