About Guardteck & Kandor Management

Guardteck provides tailored security solutions for a wide range of environments, including commercial buildings, residential sites, and community spaces. As part of Kandor Management Corporation, we're not your typical security company - we're building something different.

We live by five core values:

Community First – Servant heart, respectful, pride of place, mindful. Not selfish.

Above and Beyond – Finishing touch, go the extra step, give more. Not average.

Accountability – Ownership mindset, do what we say, keep our word. No excuses.

Creative Initiative – Outside of the box thinking, proactive problem solving, resourceful. Not indifferent.

Be Awesome – Be prepared. Be well presented. Have a good attitude. Not a low vibe.

If these values resonate with you, keep reading.

  • Participate in daily/shift debriefs and support operational reporting where required.

Professional Conduct & Public Interaction

  • Provide customer-service focused security presence while enforcing site rules professionally.
  • Use de-escalation and conflict-avoidance strategies; disengage/escalate when risk increases.
  • Coordinate with police/EMS and provide accurate information when requested.

Vehicle, Keys & Equipment Accountability

  • Complete pre-shift and post-shift vehicle inspections and report defects immediately.
  • Maintain cleanliness of patrol vehicle and protect company assets.
  • Follow fleet card rules (authorized use only, receipts, accurate logging).

Required Qualifications

  • Valid Alberta Security Services Licence (or ability to obtain prior to start).
  • Valid Class 5 driver’s licence with a clean driving abstract (company vehicle operation required).
  • Strong English communication skills (verbal + written reports).
  • Comfortable working independently, nights/weekends, and across multiple sites per shift.
  • Ability to use mobile apps/technology for reporting and checkpoint verification.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 1+ year security experience in mobile patrol, retail/commercial, or alarm response is an asset.
  • First Aid/CPR certification is an asset.
  • Experience with report writing platforms and GPS-enabled patrol workflows.

Physical & Working Conditions

  • Must be able to respond quickly, remain alert, and manage stressful situations calmly.
  • Shifts commonly include evenings/overnights depending on route coverage.

Performance Expectations
