Overview

We are looking for professional, safety-minded individuals to join our security team in Medicine Hat on a casual basis. In this role, you will protect local facilities, support community safety, and act as a helpful first point of contact for visitors and staff. If you enjoy active work, value helping others, and need a flexible schedule that fits around your other commitments, this position offers an excellent way to build your skills in public safety and customer service.

What Success Looks Like

On a day-to-day basis, you will stay active by conducting regular patrols, monitoring facilities, and greeting people with a helpful, professional attitude. You will respond calmly to alarms or incidents, de-escalate minor conflicts, and write clear, straightforward reports to document your shifts. Because this is a physically demanding role, success means maintaining your energy and focus while walking long distances and climbing stairs over 12-hour shifts. Over time, success means becoming a trusted, reliable presence on-site. You will develop a deep understanding of safety protocols, build solid relationships with local site staff, and handle unexpected situations with confidence and poise.

- Pay Rate: $17.00-$21.00 per hour
- Schedule: Day and overnight rotations (typically 12-hour shifts,



depending on the assigned site)

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you must have:

- The ability to obtain and maintain a valid Alberta Security License.

- A calm, decisive approach when handling high-pressure situations or emergencies.
- Strong customer service skills and a professional demeanor.
- Legal authorization to work in Canada.
