Work-Force
The organisation is recruiting a Loss Prevention Officer for its Parys operation. The role forms part of a wider legal and security jobs portfolio across Free State.
About the Opportunity
Equally, the organisation is investing in its Parys operation, and this Loss Prevention Officer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the legal and security jobs function and contribute to the wider Free State business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the legal and security jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the legal and security jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Parys much easier.
A Typical Day
Your day is built on focus and detail. You work through matter files or post lists, review evidence or contracts and check that every required record is in place. Communication with site teams, attorneys, clients or SAPS is constant, and you keep your reports factual, precise and timely. When something out of the ordinary happens, you respond calmly and follow procedure, knowing that good documentation today protects the business tomorrow.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Parys.
Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Equal Opportunity
Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Free State, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Parys.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.
