Frequently Asked Questions About Careers at Guardian Chemicals
Technical sales and account management, field service, laboratory and R and D, production and plant operations, warehouse and logistics, and office roles including finance, marketing and administration. Current openings are listed on this page.
Most roles are based at our head office and manufacturing plant in Sturgeon County, Alberta, just outside Edmonton, or at our Kissimmee, Florida facility. Sales and field service roles are based in the territory they serve, which means various regions across Canada and the United States.
For lab and formulation roles, a relevant technical education is usually required. For technical sales and field service, industry experience often matters more than the credential, because the job is understanding a customer’s process. We have people who came from operations, from maintenance and from competitors’ field teams.
It is more field work than selling. You are on site surveying systems, sampling, testing, troubleshooting problems and supporting applications, often in plants and facilities rather than offices. People who enjoy it tend to be the ones who like solving a problem in the equipment rather than presenting a catalogue.
Yes, particularly into laboratory, production and support roles where there is a path into technical positions. Tell us what you studied and what you want to work on, because a specific interest is more useful to us than a general application.
Apply through the posting on this page. Applications go to our hiring team, and if there is a fit you will hear from us to arrange a conversation. If nothing currently posted suits you but you think there is a fit, send your details anyway and say what you are looking for.
We are a Canadian-owned manufacturer that has been operating since 1960, which means a smaller organisation than the multinationals in this industry and less distance between a decision and the person who makes it. People tend to work across more of the business here than they would in a large company.
Yes. Technical roles involve product and application training, and field roles get time alongside experienced people before working independently. In an industry where the knowledge is specific to the systems and the chemistry, that is a practical necessity rather than a benefit statement.
Yes. We have operations in Kissimmee, Florida and sales representation serving US markets including Texas. US-based roles appear on this page alongside Canadian ones.
