We Don’t Just Hire People — We Build Teammates.

Hudson is a different kind of security, doors, automation, and locksmithing company.

We’re part construction, part tech, and part problem-solvers — the crew that takes the custom, awkward, high-stakes job and makes it work.

We protect people, property, and livelihoods. We never forget the responsibility that comes with that.

We also take the work seriously and the people human. We laugh together. A lot. We roast each other’s inner nerds (lovingly). We keep the small, slightly ridiculous rituals that remind us we’re a team, not just a roster.

If that sounds like your kind of place… keep reading.

Who We Are (All Under One Roof):

Hudson Entry & Automation brings together three powerful service areas inside one unified operating company:

Security & Access Systems:

Access control, cameras, alarms, automated door operators, telephone entry, physical/electronic security systems, and gate control.

Perimeter & Gate Automation:

Cantilever sliding and swing gates, barrier gates, bi-folding gate systems, parking access and revenue control, automated door operators, wiring, fencing, and specialty automation projects.

Commercial Doors & Hardware:

Overhead doors, dock levellers, hollow-metal and steel doors, commercial hardware, closers, locksmithing, restricted key systems, master keying, and life-safety hardware.

Different crafts. Same mission: build a team with heart, humour, humility, grit — and exceptional skill.

The Hudson Technical Career Ladder:

At Hudson, your career grows with you. We don’t do dead-end positions.

Every field role falls into one of our five technical levels:

Junior Technician:

Learning, observing, improving. Hungry and dependable.

Technician:

Capable, confident, independent on smaller tasks, reliable backup on big ones.

Lead Technician:

Takes ownership of jobs, mentors others, and runs small teams.

Senior Lead Technician:

Top performer. Trusted with complex, custom, or high-stakes projects. Helps shape standards.

Technical Operations & Sales (Inside Role):

A highly respected next step for Senior Leads who want to:

Mentor and coach both field and office staff.
Work directly with clients.
Support project planning and quoting.
Strengthen the company with their experience.
Help build internal training and systems.

It’s a role built for leaders who want to grow their impact beyond the field.

Not Everyone Stays in One Lane — And That’s a Good Thing:

Some technicians discover they love working with customers.
Some get hooked on project planning.
Some become absolute wizards with AI tools or digital workflows.

At Hudson, you can transition into:

Project Management.
Sales & Estimation.
Service Coordination.
Business Operations.
Internal Training & Systems Development.
AI-enabled tools and knowledge management.

We’re not a company that says, “Stay in your lane.”

We’re a company that asks, “Where do you shine?”

Who Thrives at Hudson (And Who Doesn’t):

This is a high-performance team, not an unconditional family. Belonging is earned. Skills we can teach. Character we can’t.

You’ll thrive here if you:

Take the work seriously and treat people properly.
Stay steady when a job gets messy — then plan clearly and execute.
Own the outcome: you can say “I messed up,” “I was wrong,” and “I’m sorry,” then fix it and prevent it.
Care about the details, because the work has someone’s safety on it.
Can lead one day and assist the next.
Laugh at yourself, learn in public, and stay humble.
Hate stagnation and “we’ve always done it that way”.
Want a career where the work actually matters.

You will not thrive here if you:

Are arrogant, disrespectful, or unteachable.
Pass problems instead of owning them.
Treat respect like a given instead of something you earn daily.
Are a jerk.

We say it clearly: No jerks. No exceptions.

The Hudson Work Style:

Regardless of division, most technical roles follow a similar rhythm:

80% field work.
20% reporting, notes, photos, digital documentation.
Lots of teamwork (pairs or small groups).
Fast learning and constant improvement.

The work is physical, challenging, meaningful — and never boring.

You’ll install, fix, wire, troubleshoot, test, bend conduit, align hardware, solve problems, and occasionally become the hero of someone’s day.

And you’ll laugh. A lot.

Smarter, Not Harder — Technology at Hudson:

Hudson prides itself on modern, tech-enabled operations. You’ll use:

A cloud-based field management system.
A Hudson-issued smartphone.
Digital work orders, schedules & drawings.
An internal AI-powered intranet.
Tools and systems built by Hudson’s own AI specialists.
Video-based training and knowledge modules.
Modern internal communication channels.

We innovate constantly — because trades deserve better tools.

The Cool Stuff We Get to Do:

Because of our long-standing reputation in perimeter security and our strong partner relationships with other contractors, we land projects that others won’t touch:

Complex automation.
Remote locations.
High-security facilities.
One-off engineering challenges.
Jobs too custom for “cookie-cutter” companies.

This means real opportunities to travel to Yellowknife, Ottawa, Wawa, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Alberta, and British Columbia.

We embrace the weird, the custom, the difficult — and we love the challenge.

What Hudson Offers:

Competitive hourly pay ($24–$35/hr depending on role).
Overtime + bonus opportunities.
Medical, dental, vision, life & disability benefits.
Company vehicle & tools (for field roles).
Paid time off.
Quarterly reviews + real career growth.
Company events.
Store discounts.
On-site parking.
A team with heart, humour & drive.

Requirements:

Valid G licence & clean abstract.
Able to work outdoors, on ladders, and lift 50 lbs.
Good customer service, organization, and computer skills.
Clean police record.

“We Might Not Need Someone This Minute… But We’re Always Hiring All-Stars”

If you’re the right person — humble, hungry, hardworking, honest, and hilarious — we will make room for you.

We hire based on values, attitude, character, potential, and team fit.

Skills we can teach.

Values we can’t.
