Control access to work zones to protect workers and the public from hazards.
Communicate with Rail Traffic Controllers and other Track Protection personnel using established procedures and radio communication.
Install and remove railway protection devices (flags, signage) at designated locations.
Direct the safe movement of personnel and equipment through work areas.
Prepare daily reports, including timesheets and work documentation.
Promote and enforce the company’s safety program, ensuring all workers adopt a safety‑first mindset.
Operate company vehicles as required.
Perform other related duties as assigned.

Strong concentration and situational awareness in dynamic environments.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities under pressure.
Understanding of workplace safety requirements and procedures.
Ability to work in a safety‑sensitive role directing contractors in active railway environments.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation, with earning potential up to $100,000 annually
Paid training, including:
- Canadian Railway Operating Rules (CROR)
- Track Inspection Guidelines (TIG)
- Personal Track Safety (PTS)
- Mentorship and on‑the‑job training
Union membership, with access to benefits and pension programs.
