Full Job Description

Diesel Mechanic – Locomotive Repair | $28–$38/Hour

Metro East Industries, Inc. – Burlington, IA Region

$28–$38/hour based on experience and skill level
Monday–Friday | Full-Time | Overtime Available

Diesel Mechanic? Your Skills Can Transfer to Locomotives.

If you can troubleshoot and repair diesel engines, farm equipment, semi-trucks, construction equipment, or industrial machinery, you may already have many of the skills needed to become a locomotive mechanic.

You do NOT need previous locomotive experience to apply.

Metro East Industries, Inc. (MEI) is looking for experienced mechanics in the Burlington, Iowa region who are interested in taking their skills into the railroad industry.

Whether your background is working on John Deere, Case IH, Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Komatsu, Volvo, or similar heavy equipment, we want to talk to you.

What We Offer

$28–$38/hour + overtime, based on experience and demonstrated skill level
Overtime opportunities
Monday–Friday schedule
8-hour shifts
401(k) with company match
Health insurance
Dental insurance
Vision insurance
Life insurance
Disability insurance
Paid vacation
Paid holidays
Full-time, year-round work
Specialized locomotive repair experience
Opportunities for advancement

What You'll Be Working On

Instead of trucks, tractors, or construction equipment, you'll be troubleshooting, maintaining, and repairing diesel-electric locomotives.

Locomotives are specialized machines, but many of the mechanical skills you've already developed transfer directly to the work.

You'll perform work such as:

Diagnose and troubleshoot diesel engine and mechanical problems
Repair, rebuild, remove, and install mechanical components
Work on fuel pumps, water pumps, governors, control valves, injectors, valves, cylinder heads, turbos, bearings, and related systems
Time injectors and valves and perform engine adjustments
Inspect components and determine necessary repairs
Use precision measuring instruments and gauges
Read technical manuals, schematics, specifications, and drawings
Use hand tools, pneumatic tools, power tools, grinders, and cutting equipment
Remove and install heavy components using hoists and cranes
Operate forklifts, overhead cranes, and other material-handling equipment
Perform preventative maintenance and mechanical inspections
Complete repairs according to company procedures, OEM requirements, and applicable FRA regulations

If you've spent your career diagnosing diesel equipment and figuring out why something isn't working, that's the kind of experience we're looking for.

Your Experience May Be a Great Fit

We encourage you to apply if you have experience as a:

Diesel Mechanic
Heavy Equipment Mechanic
Agricultural / Farm Equipment Mechanic
Truck / Semi-Truck Mechanic
Fleet Mechanic
Construction Equipment Mechanic
Industrial Maintenance Mechanic
Equipment Technician
Diesel Technician
Locomotive Mechanic

Experience working with equipment or engines from manufacturers such as John Deere, Case IH, Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Komatsu, Volvo, or similar manufacturers can provide an excellent mechanical foundation for locomotive repair.

No Locomotive Experience? That's Okay.

We aren't limiting this opportunity to people who have already worked for a railroad.

We understand that an experienced diesel or heavy-equipment mechanic may not know locomotive-specific procedures, components, terminology, or FRA requirements on day one.

Those things can be learned.

We're interested in candidates who already understand the fundamentals:

Mechanical troubleshooting
Diesel engines and related systems
Using hand, power, and pneumatic tools
Reading gauges and measuring equipment
Following technical repair procedures
Diagnosing failures instead of simply replacing parts
Working safely around large equipment
Taking pride in quality repairs

If you bring the mechanical ability and willingness to learn, we can help you develop the locomotive-specific knowledge.

What We're Looking For

Strong mechanical aptitude
Diesel or heavy-equipment mechanical experience preferred
Ability to troubleshoot mechanical problems
Experience using hand, power, and pneumatic tools
Ability to read gauges and precision measuring instruments
Ability to understand technical manuals, schematics, drawings, and specifications
Good problem-solving skills
Attention to detail
Dependable work history
Safety-minded approach to your work
Willingness to learn locomotive systems and FRA requirements
Ability to work overtime when production demands require it
High school diploma or GED preferred

Physical & Work Environment

This is a hands-on industrial mechanic position working in and around large railroad equipment.

Candidates must be able to safely perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation, including:

Lift up to 82 lbs. with or without assistance
Stand and walk for extended periods
Bend, kneel, squat, stoop, climb, reach, push, and pull
Climb locomotive steps, stairs, ladders, and scaffolding
Work from elevated and uneven surfaces
Work above and below shoulder and waist level
Crawl and work in restricted areas
Work around heavy machinery and moving equipment
Work in environments that may include heat, cold, noise, dust, fumes, and outdoor weather conditions
Wear required PPE including safety glasses, hard hat, hearing protection, and steel-toe footwear
Meet applicable medical requirements for respiratory protection when required

Why Consider Locomotive Repair?

If you've spent years working on trucks, tractors, or heavy equipment, this is an opportunity to use those same mechanical skills on a completely different class of machine.

Locomotive repair provides the chance to learn specialized railroad equipment while continuing to do what experienced mechanics do best: diagnose problems, tear equipment down, repair it correctly, and put it back to work.

About Metro East Industries

Metro East Industries, Inc. has been serving the railroad industry since 1990.

What began as a railcar repair company has grown into a major provider of locomotive and railcar inspection, maintenance, repair, rebuilding, and field services for Class I railroads, short-line railroads, leasing companies, OEMs, and industrial customers.

Today, MEI employs approximately 500 people and remains a third-generation family-owned business.

We believe our success depends on our employees, and we're committed to safety, teamwork, quality workmanship, and providing opportunities for people to build long-term careers.

Ready to Put Your Diesel Experience to Work on Something Bigger?

You don't need to come from the railroad industry.

If you're an experienced diesel, truck, agricultural, heavy-equipment, or industrial mechanic and you're interested in learning locomotive repair, we want to hear from you.

Apply today to join Metro East Industries in the Burlington, Iowa region.

Metro East Industries, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
