About The Role

As an Undercover Loss Prevention Officer with Securiguard, you'll step into a fast-paced, investigative role where no two days are the same. This is not a static security position-you'll actively identify theft patterns, conduct surveillance, and play a key role in reducing retail loss.

This opportunity is ideal for individuals who are observant, proactive, and confident working independently while making real-time decisions in dynamic environments.

What You'll Do

  • Conduct undercover surveillance to identify theft and high-risk activity
  • Monitor behavioural patterns and support loss prevention strategies
  • Perform lawful apprehensions when required, in accordance with company policy and training
  • Complete detailed and accurate incident reports
  • Work collaboratively with store teams and fellow security professionals
  • Maintain awareness across multiple locations as operationally required
  • Manage high-pressure situations with professionalism and sound judgment

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Work in a specialized undercover environment, not a static guard position
  • Build hands-on experience in surveillance, investigations, and case development
  • Exposure to multi-site operations and diverse retail environments
  • Opportunity to develop skills applicable to advanced security and investigative roles
  • Be part of a team that plays a direct role in protecting assets and reducing loss

Requirements

  • Valid BC Security Worker License and Advanced Security Training (AST)
  • Minimum 2 years of security experience (retail or mall environment preferred)
  • Minimum 1 year of undercover loss prevention experience is an asset
  • Occupational First Aid Level 1 (OFA 1) or equivalent is an asset
  • Strong observation, communication, and report-writing skills
  • Ability to remain composed and professional in high-pressure situations
  • Willingness to work flexible hours and travel between locations as needed
  • Basic knowledge of applicable legislation (Criminal Code, Charter, Trespass Act) is an asset

Who We Are

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

We operate across a wide range of sectors including retail, corporate, industrial, aviation, and government services, and are recognized as one of Canada's leading security providers. Our teams are built on our core values: R.E.A.C.H. - Respect, Empathy, Accountability, Courtesy, and Honesty.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where individuals can grow, contribute, and build meaningful careers in security.

If you're looking to build your experience in a specialized, high-impact security role, we encourage you to apply and be part of a team that values professionalism, accountability, and growth.
