Day in the Life

As a Winter Foreperson, you will be responsible for coordinating the safe and efficient operation of winter maintenance equipment, including loaders, combination units, and pickup trucks, to maintain provincial highways in accordance with CDMC contract requirements. A key part of the role is organizing and contacting operators to ensure timely response for winter plowing and salting operations.

Strong organizational skills are essential as you maintain accurate documentation, including project plans, operational records, daily equipment inspections, work records, and hours-of-service logs.

Effective communication will be critical as you work closely with supervisors, lead hands, operators, and other stakeholders to support project progress and address issues as they arise.

As a key member of the operations team, you will play an important role in delivering safe, reliable highway maintenance services. If you are a safety‑focused leader who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and enjoys being on the road, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.
