Job Description

The S&C Apprentice reports to the S&C Supervisor but will typically be assigned to work under the direct guidance of either an S&C Lead Maintainer or a group of S&C Maintainers and will follow these more senior employees through their schedule rotation, which ensures that the client’s operation is covered 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days a year.

Permanent employment will be contingent on the candidate passing the Canadian Railway Operating Rules (CROR) training, the S&C Apprenticeship Training program and the On-the-Job Training.
