A relocation package will be available for eligible candidates.
Although you may see this position advertised outside Florida, the job itself is physically located in Mulberry, FL. Candidates selected from other areas will be expected to relocate.

Relevant backgrounds may include experience as a:
Locomotive Mechanic
Locomotive Repairman

Composite Locomotive Repairman
Railroad Mechanical Technician
Locomotive Maintenance Technician
Similar railroad mechanical position
General automotive or diesel experience alone may not meet the experience requirements unless it includes direct locomotive maintenance and repair responsibilities.

Responsibilities may include:
Conducting mechanical inspections of diesel locomotives
Locating and diagnosing equipment failures and performance concerns
Troubleshooting diesel engines and associated components

We understand that relocating for a new position is a significant decision. That's why a relocation package will be available for eligible candidates who are selected for this opportunity.
Eligibility and relocation assistance will be determined according to company guidelines and the circumstances of the selected candidate.
Once relocation is complete, Mulberry, Florida will be your regular reporting location and primary worksite. This is not a position where you remain based in the city where the advertisement is posted.
Some travel will occur after relocation to assist with projects, customer needs, or locomotive repair work at other locations. The amount and duration of travel may vary depending on operational requirements.
