A Signal Inspector is responsible for inspecting, testing, and maintaining railroad or transit signal systems to ensure they operate safely and comply with regulations. They examine signal equipment, wiring, switches, and related components for defects or malfunctions. Their duties often include troubleshooting issues, performing routine maintenance, and documenting inspections.
