Job description

Rail Transloader / Terminal Operator - Starting Pay $20/hour

Road & Rail Services is hiring Rail Transloaders / Terminal Operators to safely transfer hazardous and non-hazardous materials between railroad tank cars and tanker trucks. This position requires strict compliance with EPA, FRA, OSHA, and company safety standards. This is a hands-on, outdoor industrial role suited for individuals who value safety, consistency, and physical work.

What We Offer: Starting pay of $20/hour with a full benefits package including Medical, Dental, and 401(k). Paid holidays and paid vacation are provided. Employees receive an annual steel-toe boot allowance and all required PPE. We are a veteran-friendly company with a promote-from-within culture and long-term career opportunities.

Responsibilities include transferring hazardous and non-hazardous products between railcars and tanker trucks; climbing heights of 15 to 20 feet to inspect, connect, and seal tank cars and trailers; inspecting railcars, trucks, hoses, and transfer equipment; operating site vehicles and equipment such as golf carts, pumps, heaters, and small tractors; performing basic preventive maintenance including oil changes, batteries, starters, and clutches; completing hazardous waste transfer logs, facility logs, and manifests; preparing products for transfer including heating, sparging, and sampling; maintaining housekeeping standards; participating in safety audits; and following all federal, site, and company safety procedures.

Minimum qualifications include a high school diploma or GED, the ability to work outdoors year-round in all weather conditions, willingness to work around hazardous materials (training provided), strong attention to detail, a safety-first mindset, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Physical and environmental requirements include frequent climbing, bending, kneeling, squatting, twisting, and walking on uneven surfaces. Employees must be able to walk up to 5 miles in a 3-hour period and occasionally up to 10 miles per shift, lift, push, pull, or carry up to 60 lbs, apply gripping force up to 80 lbs, stand, bend, or climb for periods exceeding 2 hours, work at heights up to 20 feet, wear respiratory protection and full hazmat suits, and hear and communicate safety instructions clearly.

Safety is a core expectation of this role. Because the work is regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration, safety requirements are federal law, not optional. Employees must follow all safety rules, report unsafe conditions immediately, perform work without creating risk to themselves or others, and protect equipment while meeting safety, quality, and production standards.

Road & Rail Services was founded in 1987 and is a leading provider of rail-related services across North America. The company supports railroads, manufacturers, and terminals with terminal operations, plant services, and rail asset maintenance through a skilled, safety-focused workforce.
