We are a dynamic and forward-thinking organization committed to operational excellence and the well-being of our community and assets. We empower our team members with the tools and support needed to thrive, fostering a culture of integrity, vigilance, and continuous improvement. For a dedicated Loss Prevention Officer, Career.zycto offers a stable and respectful workplace where your commitment to security is recognized and valued. Join a team that upholds the highest standards, making a tangible difference every night in safeguarding our operations in Prince George.
Job Description
This role requires a proactive and vigilant individual to maintain a secure environment during the night shift. As a Loss Prevention Officer with Career.zycto, you will be the cornerstone of our night-time security operations, tasked with safeguarding company assets, preventing theft, and minimizing losses across our facilities in Blackburn, Prince George. This isn’t just a patrolling job; it’s a critical position that demands keen observation, sound judgment, and the ability to act decisively when required.
Your primary focus will be on monitoring surveillance systems, conducting regular foot patrols throughout the premises, and investigating any suspicious activities or potential security breaches. Working autonomously, you’ll be responsible for documenting incidents meticulously, preparing detailed reports, and ensuring all security protocols are strictly followed. This role is essential in deterring unauthorized access, managing emergencies, and maintaining a safe and orderly environment for staff and property during non-operational hours.
We are looking for someone who thrives in a self-directed environment, possesses strong problem-solving skills, and can respond effectively to a variety of situations. Your ability to calmly de-escalate potential conflicts, enforce company policies, and collaborate with law enforcement when necessary will be crucial. This position offers an opportunity to be a vital part of a team dedicated to excellence, ensuring peace of mind for our daytime operations through your diligent night-time efforts. You’ll receive comprehensive training and be equipped with the necessary tools to perform your duties effectively.
Beyond surveillance and patrols, you will be instrumental in identifying and mitigating potential risks before they escalate. This includes checking entry and exit points, securing valuable inventory, and ensuring all alarm systems are fully operational. Your diligence will directly contribute to maintaining operational continuity and protecting our investments. You will also be responsible for ensuring compliance with all company security procedures and provincial regulations, proactively suggesting improvements where identified. This role requires excellent physical stamina, as regular walking and standing are integral to effective patrolling. The successful candidate will also be expected to assist with opening or closing procedures as needed, ensuring a seamless transition between shifts. If you are detail-oriented, have a strong sense of integrity, and are looking for a challenging yet rewarding night-shift role where your contribution is highly valued, we encourage you to apply. Career.zycto provides a supportive work environment, emphasizing teamwork and professional growth, even in autonomous roles.
