We are seeking an Assistant Track Foreman to support the safe, efficient delivery of railway track maintenance, renewal, and construction activities in Oakville and surrounding areas. Working under the direction of the Track Foreman, you will help coordinate field crews, equipment, materials, and daily work plans while ensuring all activities comply with approved procedures, safety standards, and railway operating requirements. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who can work effectively outdoors, in changing weather conditions, and around active rail infrastructure.
Responsibilities will include assisting with crew supervision and task allocation; conducting pre-work inspections and safety briefings; interpreting work plans, drawings, and specifications; monitoring track conditions and identifying defects; supporting the installation, repair, alignment, and maintenance of rails, ties, switches, ballast, and related components; and ensuring tools, machinery, and materials are used and stored correctly.
