Terminal Manager – Transloading Operations

Road & Rail Services
Location: Knoxville, TN
Job Type: Full-Time
Starting Salary: $65,000 annually, negotiable based on experience

Take Ownership of a Hands-On Terminal Operation

Road & Rail Services is seeking an experienced Terminal Manager to lead our transloading operation in Knoxville, Tennessee. This opportunity is designed for a manager who is comfortable being visible in the operation, developing employees, solving problems, and taking responsibility for the overall performance of the terminal.

This is not a desk-only management position. You will spend time in the field alongside your team, monitoring daily activity and ensuring employees have the training, equipment, and direction needed to work safely and efficiently.

The terminal handles the transfer of commodities between railcars and trucks, which may include ethanol, plastic pellets, food-grade materials, and other products. A strong commitment to safety, environmental compliance, customer service, and operational consistency is essential.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As Terminal Manager, you will:

Direct and coordinate daily transloading and terminal activities

Lead, train, coach, schedule, and develop terminal employees

Conduct safety meetings and reinforce safe work practices

Ensure products are transferred safely and according to established procedures

Monitor productivity, labor utilization, operating expenses, and overall terminal performance

Help manage budgets and support established P&L objectives

Maintain accurate operational, safety, training, and customer documentation

Communicate with customers and address service or operational concerns

Identify operational problems and implement practical solutions

Ensure equipment, work areas, and terminal grounds are maintained appropriately

Support compliance with applicable company, customer, OSHA, EPA, FRA, and DOT requirements

Work outdoors and assist employees with operational responsibilities when circumstances require it

What We're Looking For

Successful candidates should have at least two years of management or supervisory experience, preferably with responsibility for operating expenses, budgets, productivity, or P&L results.

Experience in transloading, rail operations, transportation, logistics, chemical handling, manufacturing, warehousing, terminal operations, or another industrial environment is strongly preferred.

You should also be able to:

Lead employees while holding the team accountable for performance and safety

Communicate effectively with employees, customers, and company leadership

Make sound decisions in a fast-moving operational environment

Organize multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

Work both independently and as part of a larger operations team

Perform work outdoors in changing weather conditions

Safely climb railcars, use stairs and ladders, and navigate an industrial terminal environment

Assist with physical or operational duties when necessary

Compensation & Benefits
  • Starting salary: $65,000 annually, negotiable depending on experience
  • Medical insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid vacation
  • Annual bonus opportunities
  • Career development and advancement opportunities
