Job Skills / Requirements

Are you looking to gain valuable and varied experience as a Security Guard across a range of dynamic sites throughout the Lower Mainland? Join our Special Coverage Team, where you'll be a key first responder for short-notice or short-term assignments at locations such as universities, malls, office towers, government buildings, industrial sites, events, and more.

We are seeking candidates for full-time work, with availability to work both afternoon (ex. 3pm-11pm) and overnight shifts (ex. 11pm-7am), all days of the week. This role is ideal for individuals looking to build a strong foundation in the security industry with the potential to move into permanent site placements after 6 months to 1 year. Many of our sites are transit accessible, but having access to a personal vehicle is considered an asset. Your pay rate will be $18.50 - $22/hour, depending on the site.

Responsibilities at each site will vary, but will generally include:

• Controlling access to the facility
• Regular foot patrols
• Monitoring CCTV cameras
• Providing first aid
• Providing excellent customer service
• Writing detailed incident reports
• De-escalating potentially violent situations
• Responding to alarms and emergency requests
• Managing lost and found
• Communicating with colleagues, clients, emergency responders, and the general public
• Reporting unusual activity, property damage, security breaches, etc. to our Operations Centre and emergency services

You'll be a great fit if you have:

• A valid BC Security Worker License
• Excellent customer service and problem-solving skills
• Strong English communication skills, both verbal and written
• A passion for being active, since your patrols may be indoors or outdoors, in all weather conditions, and can include stairwells, uneven surfaces, and parkades
• Physical ability to stand and/or patrol for the majority of a shift (8-hours average)
• Confidence interacting verbally with team members, client personnel, members of the public, and emergency services
• Some experience in security would be an asset, but other experience in customer service or volunteering can still help you succeed
• Confidence approaching and leading in emergency situations, including trauma, aggression, intoxication, bodily fluids, etc.
• A keen eye for watching and reporting irregularities, such as security breaches, facility and safety hazards, and emergency situations
• Basic skills in utilizing technology, including writing reports on a computer, tracking patrols in a smartphone, and communicating via two-way radio
• Legal authorization to work in Canada

Paladin Security is committed to providing accommodations for people with disabilities through the interview process and while employed.
