Regularly patrol the premises and interact with customers and employees to deter potential incidents while maintaining a high level of customer service.
Investigate suspicious activities, review CCTV footage, and collaborate with law enforcement when necessary.
Craft detailed incident reports and maintain accurate documentation.
Enforce security protocols, de-escalate conflicts, and, when needed, make lawful arrests to ensure a safe and secure environment for both staff and customers.

What You Bring

Valid BC Security Worker License
At least 1 year of security experience in a high-profile customer focused environment such as retail, government or healthcare..
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to prepare professional daily and/or incident security reports.
Conflict resolution and de-escalation skills
Military/Police background/Law Enforcement background is an asset.
Strong observational skills and situational awareness
Punctuality
Able to stand/patrol up for up to 8 hours.

Who We Are

At Securiguard, our purpose is simple: to make people feel safe.

With over 4,000 employees across Canada, we are one of the country's leading security providers, protecting retail, corporate, industrial, aviation, government, and critical infrastructure sites. We invest in our people through ongoing training, career development, and opportunities for advancement.

Everything we do is guided by our R.E.A.C.H. values: Respect
