We were founded on the principle of putting our clients’ employees first and this is still true today. Led by 5,200 medical professionals and 200 security specialists our teams work night and day to find solutions to protect our clients and their employees in whatever situation they may be facing; we assess, advise and assist from a medical, security and logistical perspective on a global scale to protect and save lives and thereby enable our clients to achieve their business goals.

And because flexibility matters, we offer travel perks: whether it’s reimbursement, allowances, or free charter flights, you can live anywhere in Canada and still work in the province of your choice. This isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle designed around freedom, balance, and opportunity.

What’s in it for You?

• Comprehensive Benefits: Health, vision, and dental coverage, plus emergency travel assistance, virtual care, life insurance, long-term disability, and an employee assistance program.
• Retention Bonus: Your commitment pays off—literally.
• All Gear Provided: Uniforms and PPE supplied for client sites, so you’re ready from day one.
• Grow Your Career: Access to continuing education and professional development opportunities.
• Earn More Through Referrals: Bring great people on board and get rewarded.
