Who We Are

Guardteck Security is a trusted Canadian-owned and operated provider of security services, proudly operating under Kandor Management Corp., a facility services provider alongside Everclean Facility Services and Kendrix Technologies. We support clients across a diverse range of industries. We believe that exceptional service begins with the right people. That’s why we invest heavily in our team through thorough training, ongoing support, and genuine opportunities for growth. When our people are empowered and set up for success, it reflects in every interaction and at every site we support.

Security is more than a service, it’s a responsibility. Our teams are committed to creating safe, reliable environments while building strong relationships with the clients and communities we support. Every site is approached with professionalism, consistency, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

Our strength lies in our people. Every role contributes to the outstanding level of service we are known for, and each individual brings unique value to our team. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to creating a workplace where individuals can develop meaningful, long-term careers.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Guardteck’s security team and be part of the impactful work we do.

Our Values

Community First: Servant heart, respectful, pride of place, mindful.
Above and Beyond: Finishing touch, go the extra step, give more.
Accountability: Ownership mindset, do what we say, keep our word.
Creative Initiative: Outside-the-box thinking, proactive problem solving, resourceful.
Be Awesome: Be prepared, be well presented, and have a good attitude.

The Role

We're looking for reliable, professional security guards who take pride in customer service. You'll often be the first person a tenant, shopper, visitor, or contractor meets, so how you greet, help, and guide people matters as much as how you protect the property. Depending on your site, you may work a front desk or concierge post in a commercial tower, patrol a busy shopping centre, or manage access at a multi-tenant property.

In our interview process, we'll get to know you and your experience, and determine which site is the best fit for your skills and experience!

Pay, Benefits & Growth

Pay rate dependent on site assignment. You'll start at your site's starting rate, with the opportunity to move up based on reliability and performance
Health and dental benefits for full-time employees working 32 or more hours per week
Opportunities to grow, with training, mentorship, and promotion from within, including through our Supervisor Development Program
Full-time, part-time, and casual positions, with day, afternoon, night, weekend, and holiday shifts
A supportive team that recognizes initiative, reliability, and results

What You'll Do

Greet and assist tenants, visitors, shoppers, and contractors in a professional, friendly, and calm manner
Control access using key card and fob systems, visitor sign-in, ID checks, and pass issuance
Keep restricted areas, such as construction zones, mechanical rooms, and tenant spaces, limited to authorized people
Verify contractors against approved lists and confirm ID and work orders or permits before granting entry
Conduct indoor and outdoor foot patrols, monitor CCTV, and respond to alarms
Enforce property rules fairly and with tact, and handle trespassers safely and respectfully
De-escalate conflicts and respond to tenant or customer concerns, resolving or escalating as needed
Respond to medical emergencies with First Aid, CPR, or AED until emergency services arrive, and assist police and emergency services
Keep a detailed memo book, write clear incident and occurrence reports, and follow site-specific procedures

What You Bring

Valid British Columbia Security Worker Licence
Valid Occupational First Aid (OFA) Level 1 certificate (or willing to obtain before starting)
Legally entitled to work in Canada
A proven record of reliability and punctuality
A customer-service mindset and a positive, professional attitude
Strong spoken and written English, including report writing
Ability to meet the physical requirements of the assigned post, which may include standing, walking, and foot patrols during 8–12 hour shifts, with or without accommodation
Calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and comfortable working alone or as part of a team
Open to feedback and committed to continuous improvement

Nice to Have

Previous security experience (1+ year preferred)
Experience in a commercial office tower or multi-tenant building
Concierge, front desk, or hospitality experience
Loss prevention or retail security experience
Leadership or supervisory experience
