Pay is shown upfront. Workers keep 100% of the agreed worker price.

What Security Work Looks Like in Vancouver Right Now

Vancouver’s events calendar, stadium district, retail corridor, and construction sector create consistent demand for licensed security workers across multiple categories:

Event security. Crowd management, access control, and floor security at concerts, sports events, festivals, and private functions. BC Place, Rogers Arena, the PNE, and Hastings Park all generate regular demand throughout the year.

Retail security. Loss prevention and floor security at retail locations across downtown Vancouver, Metrotown, and Richmond. Demand spikes during peak retail periods and late evening hours.

Construction site security. Overnight and weekend site security for active construction projects across Vancouver, Burnaby, and the North Shore. Consistent demand given the level of development activity in the Lower Mainland.

Corporate and residential security. Access control, concierge security, and patrol roles at commercial and residential buildings across Vancouver’s business and residential districts.

Most of these roles are shift-based and short-term. However, they require a valid BC Security Worker Licence. On Djobzy, your licence status is part of your verified profile — employers can confirm it before hiring you.

Why Direct Hiring Pays More for Security Workers

Traditional security agencies in Canada operate on a significant markup model. They charge the employer 25–50% above the worker’s hourly rate for every hour worked. The worker receives an agreed hourly rate — but the total cost to the employer is much higher. This markup limits how many hours employers can budget for verified security coverage.

On Djobzy, you connect directly with the employer. The agreed rate is what you receive — 100% of it. Employer and client platform pricing applies on Djobzy’s side according to current pricing at djobzy.com. However, there is no traditional agency markup eating into the hourly rate you negotiated.

For security workers in Vancouver who rely on consistent shift income, the difference between 100% of an agreed rate and 70% after agency deductions is significant across a full week of shifts.
