Job description

Role Responsibilities

Alberta’s government recognizes the importance of passenger rail for the future of a rapidly growing province and looks forward to charting the path forward for passenger rail in Alberta. Join the Government of Alberta’s Passenger Rail Team to lead the implementation of the provincial Passenger Rail Strategy—a once-in-a-generation initiative with the potential to transform how Albertans move, connect, and grow. Work on this mandate will enhance the province’s transportation network and ensure a more safe and efficient transportation system in Alberta.

Come be a part of the team that takes this work forward!

Rail Planning Specialist: As the Rail Planning Specialist, you will focus on urban and transportation planning to integrate passenger rail into Alberta’s multi-modal transportation system. Reporting to the Director, Passenger Rail, you will provide planning advice on feasibility assessments, corridor development, and station integration with municipal transit systems and airports. You will also collaborate with stakeholders to promote transit-oriented development (TOD) and optimize land use adjacent to passenger rail stations.

Your responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

  • Planning passenger rail services and ensuring seamless integration with existing transit systems and airports.
  • Developing policies and guidelines for station planning, TOD, and land use adjacent to rail corridors.
  • Providing technical advice on station locations, parking, and multimodal interactions.
  • Collaborating with municipalities, airport authorities, and private sector stakeholders on planning agreements.
  • Resolving conflicts between municipal, provincial, and federal priorities in rail planning projects.


To be successful in this position, you will demonstrate:

  • Excellent oral and written communication skills including experience in making presentations to executive management, elected officials, and the public.
  • Exceptional personal interactive skills; the capability to work well with people from many different disciplines with varying degrees of technical experience; competence in clear, concise and tactful communication with senior management, clients, peers and staff.
  • Strategic, conceptual analytical thinking and decision-making skills.
  • Adaptability and flexibility including the ability to manage deadline pressure, ambiguity and change.
  • Negotiating skills within a context of political sensitivity and conflicting interests.
