Security Guard – Canadian Tire – Brampton, ON

Canadian Tire Corporation is one of Canada’s most recognized companies, and their Toronto Operations Supply Chain locations in the Brampton, ON area are looking for a dedicated Security Guard to join their team. This is a frontline role that plays a critical part in keeping distribution centre operations safe, compliant, and running smoothly around the clock.

Working under the direction of the Manager, Physical Security & Gatehouse Operations, you’ll be the first line of response for all transportation and incoming traffic at the facility. If you hold a valid Ontario Security Licence and thrive in a structured, fast-moving distribution and logistics environment, this role offers steady work, career growth, and a comprehensive benefits package.

About the Role: Security Guard

As a Security Guard at Canadian Tire’s Supply Chain operations, your primary focus will be controlling access to the Distribution Centre yard — checking vehicles and visitors in and out, conducting vehicle searches as required, and monitoring closed circuit television (CCTV) systems to protect company property and personnel. You’ll also confirm the compliance and integrity of inbound and outbound commercial vehicle loads, including adherence to Dangerous Goods transportation legislation.

This is a 24/7 operation, meaning you’ll be assigned a dedicated shift across the Toronto Operations Distribution and Gatehouse locations. You’ll work as part of a team while also being capable of exercising sound judgement independently — especially during emergency situations requiring escalation to police, fire, or ambulance services. Professionalism, accuracy in reporting, and strict adherence to safety codes and security procedures are the backbone of this role.

Benefits and Salary

The hourly rate starts at $21/hr with annual step progression. Final compensation is influenced by your experience, job-related knowledge, skills, and market factors. Canadian Tire also offers a comprehensive benefits package including health and retirement programs, performance incentives, continuing education programs, product discounts, and career growth opportunities. Eligible employees and their families receive up to $5,000 per year in mental health benefits as part of an enhanced flex benefits program, along with access to the Canadian Tire Profit Sharing plan and the Triangle Learning Academy.

Responsibilities

In this role, every shift contributes directly to the security and smooth flow of one of Canada’s largest retail supply chains. From managing gatehouse traffic to supporting compliance with transportation regulations, your day-to-day work covers a broad range of security, reporting, and operational support tasks that matter.

• Control access by checking all vehicles and visitors in and out of the Distribution Centre yard and performing vehicle searches as appropriate
• Monitor CCTV systems to ensure the security of facilities and company property at all times
• Report irregularities including security breaches, facility hazards, and emergency situations, and contact emergency responders as needed
• Conduct patrols and perform building security duties to maintain overall yard and facility security
• Verify load integrity by confirming seal compliance on all inbound and outbound commercial vehicle loads and supporting Dangerous Goods transportation compliance
• Assist with yard checks and trailer locates through accurate reconciliation
• Maintain detailed records and produce accurate security reports on key measurements
• Coordinate vehicle movement in shipping and receiving areas and provide operational support to transportation, dispatch, and vehicle control teams

Requirements / Skills

Canadian Tire is looking for a candidate who brings professionalism, physical readiness, and a keen eye for detail. The ideal person for this role is someone with hands-on security experience — particularly in a transportation or distribution setting — who can stay composed under pressure and communicate clearly in writing and in person.

• Valid Ontario Security Licence — provincially licensed to work as a Security Guard in Ontario
• Post-secondary diploma in Security and Law Enforcement, or a minimum of 5 years of security experience in a transportation/distribution environment
• Valid Driver’s Licence in good standing — abstract required
