Ability to receive, understand, and follow verbal and written instructions.
Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills in a fast-paced environment.
Must be at least 18 years of age.
High school diploma or GED required.
Ability to clearly read, write, speak, hear, and understand English in person and using electronic devices.
Ability to frequently lift and carry up to 30 pounds and occasionally up to 50 pounds.
Must possess a valid state-issued driver’s license or be able to obtain one within 60 days of employment.
No DUI/DWI conviction within the previous five (5) years, per 49 CFR Part 240.111.
Must meet all FRA vision and hearing requirements, including the ability to:
See and interpret hand signals from near and far
Distinguish red, blue, green, yellow, and white colors
Judge speed and distance of moving objects
See at night and hear auditory signals

(Vision and hearing standards per 49 CFR Parts 240.121 and 242.117)

Ability to work outdoors in extreme and all-weather conditions.

Preferred Skills

Familiarity with FRA rules and railroad operating practices (training provided; no prior experience required).
Basic mechanical or technical experience preferred.

Additional Information

Pre-employment drug screen, background check, and FRA-compliant vision and hearing testing are required prior to hire.
Employment typically begins as part-time, with the potential to transition to full-time based on performance and operational needs.
Full-time employees are eligible for a comprehensive benefits package, which may include:
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) retirement plan
Paid holidays
Paid time off

This position is safety-sensitive and subject to all applicable Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) regulations. Duties and responsibilities may evolve based on operational and regulatory requirements.
