Previous railcar repair experience is preferred, but we are also interested in candidates with strong mechanical, welding, fabrication, or industrial maintenance experience.
What You'll Do
As a Railcar Mechanic, you will inspect, maintain, and repair railcars to help ensure they are safe and ready for service. You will use hand tools, welding equipment, cutting torches, and fabrication skills to complete repairs according to company and industry standards.
Your responsibilities will include:

Cutting torch and grinder experience
Experience using pipe wrenches, pry bars, ratchets, and other hand tools
Previous railcar, heavy equipment, industrial, or mechanical repair experience
What the Job Requires
This is a physically demanding role that involves working outdoors in changing weather conditions. Candidates must be comfortable climbing, lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, and working around heavy equipment.
You must be able to:
Bend, squat, twist, walk, and stand throughout the shift
Open railcar doors requiring significant pushing and pulling force
Climb ladders and work at heights exceeding 16 feet
Work outdoors in heat, cold, dust, rain, and noisy conditions
A valid driver's license may be required when operating company vehicles or equipment.
