Chemical Transloading Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Location: Baltimore, MD
Starting Salary: $72,000 annually, negotiable based on experience
Job Type: Full-time | On-site

Road & Rail Services is seeking an experienced Terminal Manager to oversee daily transloading operations in Baltimore, Maryland. This position is well suited for a hands-on leader with experience in chemical handling, chemical manufacturing, bulk liquid operations, industrial production, rail terminals, or a related field.

The Terminal Manager is responsible for the safety, productivity, and financial performance of the facility. You will lead terminal employees while ensuring products are transferred safely and accurately between railcars, tanker trucks, and other approved storage or transportation equipment.

This is an active operations position-not a strictly office-based management role. The successful candidate must be comfortable working outdoors, inspecting the facility, coaching employees in the field, responding to operational issues, and assisting the team when necessary.

Direct the daily activities of terminal and transloading employees

Coordinate the safe transfer of chemical, liquid, dry-bulk, food-grade, and other customer products

Ensure employees follow product-specific loading, unloading, grounding, bonding, sampling, and securement procedures

Maintain compliance with company, customer, OSHA, EPA, FRA, DOT, and site-specific requirements

Conduct safety meetings, job briefings, facility inspections, and employee training

Confirm proper use of personal protective equipment and chemical-handling procedures

Monitor product quality, transfer accuracy, seal controls, and contamination-prevention practices

Ensure hoses, pumps, valves, fittings, containment systems, and transfer equipment are inspected and maintained

Respond to spills, leaks, equipment failures, and other operational concerns according to established procedures

Manage staffing, scheduling, attendance, productivity, and employee performance

Maintain accurate transfer logs, manifests, inspection reports, training records, and customer documentation

Monitor operating expenses and support budget and profit-and-loss objectives

Communicate regularly with customers, drivers, railroad representatives, vendors, and company leadership

Investigate safety, quality, and service issues and implement corrective actions

Support physical terminal work and transloading activities when operationally necessary

At least two years of management or supervisory experience

Experience managing budgets, operating expenses, or P&L performance

Strong knowledge of workplace safety and industrial operating procedures

Ability to lead employees, enforce standards, and make timely operational decisions

Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills

Ability to work flexible hours when required by terminal or customer needs

Comfortable working outdoors in heat, cold, rain, snow, and changing conditions

Ability to climb railcars and ladders, walk on uneven surfaces, and assist with physical duties

Ability to wear required PPE, which may include chemical-resistant clothing and respiratory protection

Chemical worker, chemical operator, chemical manufacturing, bulk liquid transfer, hazardous-material handling, tanker loading, or chemical terminal experience is a plus.

Experience in transloading, railroad operations, terminal management, logistics, transportation, manufacturing, warehousing, petroleum, or industrial processing will also be considered.

Starting salary of $72,000 annually, negotiable based on relevant experience

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

401(k) retirement plan with company matching

Paid holidays and vacation

Annual safety bonus opportunities

Career advancement through a promote-from-within culture
