About the Role

A Day in the Life

You'll start your shift by joining your crew for a job briefing, reviewing the safety plan and assignments for the evening. From there, you'll climb aboard locomotives and guide railcars into position, making sure every move follows company and customer safety rules. The work is outdoors in all types of weather-hot summer days, cold winter nights, rain, dust, and noise-but it's steady, active, and rewarding. You'll spend your shift walking uneven ground, climbing on and off equipment, and staying alert to your surroundings. At the end of the day, you'll know your work helped keep freight moving across the country.
