Join a Team with Heart, Humour & High Performance
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, part problem-solvers, part “MacGyver meets Mythbusters,” and part “laugh until someone snorts.”
We protect people, property, and livelihoods — and we never forget the responsibility that comes with that.
But we also celebrate National Pretzel Day.
We run rock-paper-scissors tournaments for a 5-pound chocolate bunny.
We roast each other’s inner nerds (lovingly), and we take pride in the fact that Hudson laughs together — a lot.
If that sounds like your kind of place… keep reading.
We Are Currently Hiring!
Right now, we are specifically looking for an Experienced Overhead Door & Dock Technician.
While we love to teach, for this specific seat on the bus, we need a seasoned pro who knows their way around a torsion spring and a pit leveler. You’ll be the go-to expert in our Commercial Doors division (Although we enjoy teaching, for this particular role, we require an experienced professional familiar with torsion springs and dock levellers. You will serve as the primary expert in our Commercial Doors division):
Overhead Mastery: Expert installation, service, and repair of sectional doors, rolling steel, and high-speed doors.
Dock Specialists: Troubleshooting and maintaining dock levellers, seals, and related warehouse equipment.
The Hudson Standard: Bringing “Lead Tech” energy—taking ownership of the job site, diagnosing complex mechanical/electrical issues, and showing the junior guys how it’s done safely.
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:
1. Junior Technician – Learning, observing, improving. Hungry and dependable.
2. Technician – Capable, confident, independent on smaller tasks, reliable backup on large ones.
3. Lead Technician – Takes ownership of jobs, mentors others, and runs small teams.
4. Senior Lead Technician – Top performer. Trusted with complex, custom, or high-stakes projects. Helps shape standards.
5. Technical Operations & Sales (Inside Role) – A respected next step for Senior Leads who want to:
- Mentor and coach 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
A role built for leaders who want to expand 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 become hooked on project planning. Some become 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)
You will thrive here if you:
- Have a sense of humour and can laugh at yourself.
- Are humble, clever, hands-on, and love learning new skills.
- Embrace your inner nerd (we genuinely love nerds here).
- Have hidden talents — maybe you taught yourself to weld, pour concrete, run a skid steer, or rebuild an engine just because you could.
- Want to be someone’s Hudson Hero and actually help people.
- Can step up as a leader one day and support someone else the next.
- Aren’t afraid of uncomfortable situations where you need to figure things out on the fly.
- Celebrate teammates’ wins as much as your own.
- Have a growth mindset and get excited about getting better every day.
You will NOT thrive here if you:
- Say “I already know that” or “That’s how I’ve always done it.”
- Have a fixed mindset or resist change, learning, or iteration.
- Can’t take a joke, can’t laugh at yourself, or take everything too seriously.
- Don’t want to work as part of a team (being shy is fine — being anti-team is not).
- Avoid responsibility or refuse to own your mistakes.
- Are arrogant.
- Are disrespectful.
- Are unteachable.
- Are a jerk.
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, documentation
- Lots of teamwork
- Fast learning and constant improvement
The work is physical, challenging, meaningful — and never boring.
You’ll install, fix, wire, troubleshoot, bend conduit, align hardware, solve problems, and sometimes become someone’s hero for the day.
And you’ll laugh. A lot.
Smarter, Not Harder — Technology at Hudson
Smarter, Not Harder — Technology at Hudson
Hudson operates with modern, tech-enabled workflows. You’ll use:
- Cloud-based field management system
- A Hudson-issued smartphone
- Digital work orders, schedules, drawings
- Internal AI-powered intranet
- Tools built by Hudson’s own AI specialists
- Video-based training modules
- Modern internal communications
We innovate constantly — because trades deserve better tools.
We Operate Like an F1 Team
We see ourselves as a high-performance team, the trades’ equivalent of a Formula 1 Race Team.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re the driver, the engineer, the mechanic, or the person keeping the tires warm —
every role is essential, every person is critical, and the team wins together.
That means:
- There’s no room for people who don’t want to be great at their role.
- There’s no room for people who coast, resist learning, or avoid growth.
- There is room for people who push themselves, take pride in their craft, support their teammates, and love being part of something meaningful.
And honestly…
if you’re wondering what kind of company builds itself around teamwork, heart, and loyalty — just remember: Hudson was literally named after a dog.
