Check railcars, tracks, and switches for hazards, damage, or operating concerns
Operate track switches and climb railcars during daily assignments
Walk extended distances across uneven ground
Perform duties outdoors in changing weather conditions
Follow all safety rules, operating procedures, and company policies
What We're Looking For
A valid driver's license and dependable transportation
Ability to work safely outdoors in all types of weather
Physical ability to walk, climb, bend, lift, and complete other demanding tasks
Excellent attendance and a strong work ethic
A safety-first attitude and the ability to work effectively with a crew
Availability for a rotating swing schedule, including days, nights, weekends, and holidays
Benefits and Advancement
At Road & Rail Services, this position can be the beginning of a long-term railroad career. Many of our supervisors and crew leaders began in entry-level rail roles before advancing through hands-on experience and company training.
Our employees receive:
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Paid vacation and holidays
401(k) with company match
Company-provided personal protective equipment
Annual steel-toe boot allowance
Continued safety and operations training
Opportunities for professional growth and advancement
