About the Role
As an Undercover Loss Prevention Officer with Securiguard, you'll step into a fast-paced, investigative role where no two days are the same. This is not a static security position-you'll actively identify theft patterns, conduct surveillance, and play a key role in reducing retail loss.
This opportunity is ideal for individuals who are observant, proactive, and confident working independently while making real-time decisions in dynamic environments.
What You'll Do
- Conduct undercover surveillance to identify theft and high-risk activity
- Monitor behavioural patterns and support loss prevention strategies
- Perform lawful apprehensions when required, in accordance with company policy and training
- Complete detailed and accurate incident reports
- Work collaboratively with store teams and fellow security professionals
- Maintain awareness across multiple locations as operationally required
- Manage high-pressure situations with professionalism and sound judgment
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work in a specialized undercover environment, not a static guard position
- Build hands-on experience in surveillance, investigations, and case development
- Exposure to multi-site operations and diverse retail environments
- Opportunity to develop skills applicable to advanced security and investigative roles
- Be part of a team that plays a direct role in protecting assets and reducing loss
Requirements
- Valid BC Security Worker License and Advanced Security Training (AST)
- Minimum 2 years of security experience (retail or mall environment preferred)
- Minimum 1 year of undercover loss prevention experience is an asset
- Occupational First Aid Level 1 (OFA 1) or equivalent is an asset
- Strong observation, communication, and report-writing skills
- Ability to remain composed and professional in high-pressure situations
- Willingness to work flexible hours and travel between locations as needed
- Basic knowledge of applicable legislation (Criminal Code, Charter, Trespass Act) is an asset
