In this role, you will be focused on providing professional front-line security in a commercial property while ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for tenants, visitors, and contractors.

The position requires balancing safety, customer service, and efficient building operations in a complex multi-tenant commercial setting.

• Balance safety, tenant experience, and operational flow in a dynamic, multi-tenant setting.
• Effectively manage all contractor and construction-related activity on site, ensuring strict access control, safety compliance, and site protection.
• Verify all contractors against approved lists and ensure valid ID, company confirmation, and work authorization before granting entry.
• Monitor and restrict access to designated construction zones only, preventing entry into tenant, mechanical, or restricted areas.
• Respond to tenant complaints related to construction noise, disruptions, or after-hours work by attending the area, assessing the situation, and escalating or documenting as required.

About Guardteck Security Corp.

Founded as a one-man operation in 2005, Guardteck was built on the belief that great security starts with great service. More than 20 years later, that belief has driven our growth from a single office to one of Canada’s most trusted security providers, delivering professional security services to over X clients across retail, commercial, residential, government events, and other sectors nationwide.

At Guardteck, we believe the person matters as much as the post. That’s why every one of our professionals is trained in-house in security fundamentals, leadership, and guest services, building confident, capable teams who lead with accountability and professionalism. That investment shows up in how our people carry themselves, how they engage with your team, and how they represent your brand.

Each engagement starts with a conversation. We build our programs around your environment, your needs, and your expectations, so our security presence doesn’t feel like an outside service. It feels like a natural extension of your own team. Our culture of teamwork and integrity means you can count on us to create safe, welcoming, and well-supported environments day in and day out.

At Guardteck, security has always been about more than protecting spaces. It’s about people you believe in, and a partnership you can trust.

We build people. We build teams.
