Background

About Nathaniel Smith

I’m a dedicated railway and construction professional with over 8 years of experience, recently serving as a Site Supervisor at ONxpress until March 2025. My career has taken me from hands-on roles—like being a labourer using hand tool and operating heavy machinery at Associated Paving and leading track protection jobs at A&B Rail Services—to supervising major projects like the Union Station Rail Corridor (USRC) track closures. At ONxpress, I’ve planned and coordinated complex operations, developed safety protocols, and led teams with daily briefings to ensure compliance with the Railway Safety Act and project deadlines. Recently, as Investigations Team Supervisor, I’ve focused on analyzing incidents, enhancing safety processes, and driving operational efficiency alongside senior management.Beyond my day job, I founded Apex Drone Solutions in 2021, where I leverage drone technology to deliver surveying and mapping solutions for industries like construction and agriculture. I thrive in fast-paced environments, bringing strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills to every challenge. My qualifications—like CROR, GO Level D FRMN, and supervisor training (OHSA, MOL5)—equip me to manage teams and prioritize safety at every step.I’m passionate about streamlining operational processes and fostering a culture of safety and excellence. Whether I’m coordinating with engineers, mentoring workers, or exploring innovative tech, I’m driven to make a tangible impact.
