Job description

We are seeking Safety Assurance Consultants at Consultant, Senior, and Principal levels to join our growing rail and transit team in Canada. This is a broad opportunity for individuals with experience in safety assurance across rail and transit systems, including signalling, infrastructure, rolling stock, electrification, and operations & maintenance. Successful candidates will support the delivery of safety assurance activities across the project lifecycle, such as producing safety assurance artefacts, performing independent safety assessments, and ensuring compliance with applicable standards, regulations and best practice. The location is primarily Toronto, with flexibility depending on project needs. Hybrid working arrangements, benefits, and office presence will vary by role and level, with opportunities to work on projects across Canada.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the development and delivery of safety assurance strategies across rail and transit projects
  • Produce and review safety assurance deliverables, including safety plans, safety cases, hazard logs and related documentation
  • Undertake hazard identification and risk assessment activities (e.g. HAZID, HAZOP, risk workshops)
  • Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations and client requirements
  • Contribute to independent safety assessment or competent person activities where applicable
  • Support system integration, testing, validation and commissioning activities from a safety perspective
  • Engage with multidisciplinary teams, clients and stakeholders to support successful project delivery
  • Provide technical input and assurance across different subsystems and disciplines as required

Your Impact

  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams
  • Analytical and problem‑solving capability
  • Organised, proactive and able to manage competing priorities
  • Commitment to quality, safety and continuous improvement

Skills That Set You Apart

  • Experience in rail and transit safety assurance across one or more disciplines such as signalling, infrastructure, rolling stock, electrification or operations & maintenance
  • Familiarity with relevant safety standards and frameworks such as CENELEC, CSM‑RA, CMREA, IEC standards or equivalent
  • Experience in independent safety assessment, auditing or compliance activities
  • Involvement in independent quality activities such as witnessing, trial running, testing, validation or verification
  • Understanding of system safety lifecycle and hazard management processes
  • Experience working within the Canadian rail industry is advantageous but not essential

Compensation

  • AB, BC, NT, NU, SK & YT: $162,200 - $212,200
  • MB & ON: $148,000 - $198,000
  • NB, NL, NS, PE & QC: $146,500 - $194,600
