Why Surrey is the Best City to Start a Security Career in 2026
From Campbell Heights to City Centre, Surrey is the new hub for security jobs in British Columbia.
If you live in Surrey or Delta, you might be commuting to Vancouver for work. But did you know that Surrey is currently one of the hottest markets for security professionals? With rapid population growth and massive infrastructure projects, the need for licensed guards is skyrocketing.
Top 3 Industries Hiring Security Guards in Surrey
1. Construction & Development
Look around King George Hub and Whalley. There are cranes everywhere. Insurance policies require these sites to have 24/7 security to prevent theft and vandalism. This means steady, overnight work for BST-licensed guards.
2. Logistics & Warehousing
The Campbell Heights business park in South Surrey is expanding rapidly. Warehouses and distribution centers need gatehouse guards and mobile patrols to protect inventory. These jobs often pay higher than average.
3. Retail & Malls
From Guildford Town Centre to the Scottsdale Centre in Delta, retail security is a great entry-level role where you can build customer service skills.
