About AlarmTek:

AlarmTek Smart Security is a family-owned business that has been servicing and protecting homes and businesses throughout Western Canada for the past 20 years. We know how good it feels when you're a part of something bigger than yourself. At AlarmTek, protecting families and keeping them safe is our priority. We do this by offering some of the smartest home security technology available today, ensuring our customers feel secure at all times. We are a passionate and award-winning team dedicated to providing excellent service, innovative technology, and peace of mind to our Canadian clients.

Your Work Matters Here.

A security system is more than equipment on a wall. It is the smoke detector protecting a family while they sleep. It is the camera helping someone see what is happening around their property. It is the alarm protecting a business after everyone has gone home. None of it works the way it should unless someone installs it properly.

That is where you come in.

At AlarmTek, our technicians do not just install equipment. They deliver protection. We are growing and looking for talented, technically minded people who take pride in their work, enjoy solving problems and want to help build something meaningful.
