You will also respond to incidents and work with the OPP, Toronto Fire, and EMS, ensuring the safety of the travelling public, providing traffic control at the accident scene, setting up and taking down traffic signs.

When you are not responding to incidents, you will have the opportunity to operate a variety of equipment, including tractors, mowers, loaders, service trucks, and graders.
