Who We Are

Guardteck Security is a trusted Canadian-owned and operated provider of security services, proudly operating under Kandor Management Corp., a facility services provider alongside Everclean Facility Services and Kendrix Technologies. We support clients across a diverse range of industries. We believe that exceptional service begins with the right people. That’s why we invest heavily in our team through thorough training, ongoing support, and genuine opportunities for growth. When our people are empowered and set up for success, it reflects in every interaction and at every site we support.

Security is more than a service, it’s a responsibility. Our teams are committed to creating safe, reliable environments while building strong relationships with the clients and communities we support. Every site is approached with professionalism, consistency, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

Our strength lies in our people. Every role contributes to the outstanding level of service we are known for, and each individual brings unique value to our team. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to creating a workplace where individuals can develop meaningful, long-term careers.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Guardteck’s security team and be part of the impactful work we do.

The Role

We're looking for reliable, professional security guards who take pride in customer service. In this role, you'll often be the first person a tenant, shopper, visitor, or contractor meets, so how you greet, help, and guide people matters just as much as how you protect the property. Depending on your site assignment, you may work a front desk or concierge-style post in a commercial tower, patrol a busy shopping centre, or manage access at a multi-tenant property.

In our interview process, we'll get to know you and your experience, and determine which site is the best fit for your skills and experience.

Pay and Advancement

Our pay range is $18.25–$21.00 per hour, depending on site assignment and experience. New team members start at the starting rate for their assigned site, with the opportunity to move upward based on reliability and performance. Guards who consistently show up, follow through, and deliver excellent service are the ones we reward and promote.
