Prairie Forged. Built for the Rails.

​

Prairie Rail Solutions is looking for dependable, hardworking individuals to join our Maintenance of Way (M.O.W.) team as Track Labourers.

• Our crews maintain rail infrastructure that supports agriculture, manufacturing, and industry across Manitoba. Every tie replaced, every rail adjusted, and every mile maintained helps keep supply chains moving and businesses operating.

• At Prairie Rail Solutions, our work is Prairie Forged, built on hard work, reliability, and pride in the job. Our mission is simple: Keeping Our Customers on Track.

• This is a hands-on role working outdoors alongside experienced railway professionals. If you enjoy physical work, operating tools and equipment, and being part of a strong team, this position offers an excellent opportunity to begin a career in the railway industry.

• Prairie Rail Solutions provides rail services including track maintenance, inspections, switching, and infrastructure support for industrial customers across southern Manitoba.

​

What the Work Looks Like

• As a Track Labourer, you will work with experienced crews responsible for maintaining railway track infrastructure. Typical responsibilities include assisting with track repairs including replacing rails, ties, spikes, bolts, and fasteners. You will operate railway hand tools and small equipment such as spike mauls, tie tongs, rail saws, and track jacks while supporting track alignment, gauging, and leveling work.

• Additional responsibilities include clearing brush, debris, and snow from railway rights-of-way, loading and unloading rail materials and equipment, maintaining safe and organized work areas, participating in safety briefings and job hazard assessments, and reporting track defects or hazards to supervisors. Track labourers may also assist with yard maintenance or other rail-related duties as required.

​

Who This Role Is Built For

• This role is well suited for individuals who enjoy working outdoors and staying physically active. Experience in railway, construction, agriculture, or other outdoor labour environments is considered an asset but is not required.

• Successful candidates will be physically fit and capable of lifting up to 50 pounds while working on uneven terrain. Applicants should be dependable, safety-focused, and able to work effectively as part of a team. A valid Class 5 driver’s license is required, while a Class 3 or higher license is considered an asset.

​

Working Conditions

• Railway work takes place outdoors in all weather conditions and involves physical labour in active rail environments. Employees may experience exposure to loud equipment, vibration, dust, and heavy lifting. Depending on seasonal workloads, overtime or extended hours may occasionally be required.

​

What We Offer

• Prairie Rail Solutions offers a starting wage of $19.00 per hour along with on-the-job training in railway maintenance and safety. Employees gain valuable experience working within the rail industry with opportunities to advance into track inspection, signals, or rail operations roles. Our team environment emphasizes safety, professionalism, and pride in maintaining the infrastructure that keeps our customers on track.
