Company Description Expandig Security Inc. provides on-site security services for commercial, residential, industrial, construction, and event-related properties. The company focuses on assigning officers to consistent posts rather than rotating routes, so guards can learn each site’s layout, tenants, and routines and respond more effectively. Services range from static guarding and construction site security to concierge/front-desk coverage and overnight posts. Expandig Security Inc. emphasizes clear, site-specific post orders, prompt and detailed incident reporting, and practical recommendations that may include non-guard solutions when appropriate. The company is licensed and insured, offers flexible agreements, and provides direct access to the owner rather than a ticketi
ng queue.
Role Description This is a part-time, on-site Event Security Guard role based in Burnaby, BC. The Event Security Guard will monitor entrances and exits, verify access credentials, and maintain a visible presence to deter theft, vandalism, and disorderly behavior during events and event-adjacent activities. Responsibilities include conducting routine patrols of designated areas, observing and reporting safety or security concerns, responding to incidents according to site-specific post orders, and completing legible, timestamped incident reports. The guard will interact professionally with event organizers, attendees, and property staff, provide basic directions and customer service, and coordinate with supervisors or local authorities when needed. The role requires reliable attendance for scheduled shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as events demand.
Qualifications
Experience in security, loss prevention, or related protective services, preferably in event or public venue settings.
Strong observation, situational awareness, and risk assessment abilities, with sound judgment under pressure.
Effective verbal and written communication skills for interacting with the public and documenting incidents clearly.
Ability to stand, walk, and patrol for extended periods, and to respond quickly in emergencies.
Knowledge of basic crowd management, access control, and conflict de-escalation techniques.
Comfort working with site-specific post orders and following established procedures consistently.
Valid security guard license for British Columbia (or eligibility to obtain), and a clean, professional appearance.
Reliable transportation to Burnaby, BC event sites and availability for evenings, weekends, and variable schedules.
Previous experience in customer service or front-desk/concierge roles is an asset.
First Aid/CPR certification, and experience completing incident reports or using basic reporting tools are beneficial.
Visit the website’s career page to apply its mandatory.
