If you like staying active, working with a team, and having a job where you can see what you accomplished at the end of the day, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do

As a Railcar Prepper, you will inspect railcars for damage, fatigue, debris, and other conditions that may affect transport. You will assist with opening and closing railcar end doors, identify repairs that may be completed by Road & Rail Services, and help make sure each railcar is ready for service.

You will also use backpack blowers, scrapers, and other tools to remove debris and contaminants that could potentially damage vehicles or interfere with transport.

Additional responsibilities include maintaining assigned tools and equipment, keeping work areas clean, and following all company, customer, and industry safety procedures.

• The ability to learn new tasks and follow detailed procedures
• A high school diploma or GED, or equivalent ability
• A valid state driver's license

Previous rail, automotive, warehouse, construction, landscaping, or other hands-on labor experience can be helpful, but a strong work ethic and willingness to learn are just as important.

What We Offer
