Security Guard Jobs in BC — Common Questions

Do I need a security licence before I apply?

A valid BC security worker licence puts you at the front of the queue, but you can apply without one. Say where you are in the process on the application form — if you are partway through Basic Security Training we would still like to hear from you. Our training page explains how BC licensing works.

What are the basic requirements to work as a guard?

A valid BC security worker licence, a clean criminal record check, the legal right to work in Canada, fluent English for report writing and radio work, and the physical capability for the post you are applying to — patrol and construction work involves being outdoors overnight in BC weather. A driver's licence is required for mobile patrol roles.

What shifts are available?

Days, evenings, overnights and weekends, full-time and part-time. A lot of security work is overnight by its nature — construction sites, fire watch and patrol routes are busiest when everyone else has gone home. Tell us your real availability rather than the availability you think we want to hear; it makes scheduling work for both of us.

Which cities are you hiring in?

We recruit across British Columbia, with the most consistent demand in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Kelowna, Kamloops, Prince George and Quesnel. See all service areas.

What does the hiring process look like?

Submit the form on this page with your resume. If your experience and availability fit an open post we will arrange an interview, confirm your licence and record check, then run you through our own site and reporting procedures before your first shift. You will not be sent to a site cold with no post order.

What experience do you look for?

Previous security work is welcome but not essential. We also do well with people out of trades, hospitality, military, first response and customer-facing roles — the traits that matter most are reliability, clear written reporting and staying calm with people who are not calm. Experience we can train; showing up we cannot.

Is there room to move up?

Yes. Officers move into specialised work such as CCTV monitoring, event security and loss prevention, and into site supervisor and account roles. Tell us what you are aiming at and we will map out the steps.
