Starting Pay: $18.50 per hour
Road & Rail Services is hiring dependable, safety-minded Vehicle Handlers to join our automotive operations team. This is an active, hands-on position where you will help move newly manufactured vehicles through the transportation process.
As a Vehicle Handler, your primary responsibility will be safely unloading new automobiles from railcars and driving them to assigned parking or staging areas throughout the facility. No CDL is required.
If you have experience in general labor, warehouse operations, automotive work, driving, manufacturing, transportation, material handling, or outdoor labor, your background may transfer well to this position. We are also interested in dependable candidates who are looking for an opportunity to learn a new industry and build a long-term career.
Your day-to-day responsibilities may include:
Drive new vehicles safely off railcars using designated ramps and unloading procedures
Transport vehicles to assigned staging, inventory, or parking locations
Follow established traffic patterns, speed limits, and customer safety requirements
Perform basic visual checks for noticeable vehicle damage or concerns
Enter and exit multiple vehicles throughout the shift
Maintain appropriate spacing when driving and parking vehicles
Climb railcar ladders and work around rail equipment when necessary
Follow instructions from supervisors, leads, and other members of the operations team
Remain aware of pedestrians, coworkers, vehicles, and equipment in the surrounding work area
Immediately report damage, hazards, or unsafe conditions
Maintain clean and orderly work areas
Wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Support additional vehicle-handling and general labor tasks as needed
To be successful in this position, you should have:
A valid driver's license
The ability to safely operate passenger vehicles
Reliable attendance and the ability to report to work on time
A safety-first mindset
The ability to understand and follow written and verbal directions
Willingness to work outside in changing weather conditions
Ability to climb ladders and work at heights of up to approximately 16 feet
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment
A willingness to learn new responsibilities and procedures
This is not a desk job. Vehicle Handlers spend much of their shift walking, standing, bending, climbing, and repeatedly entering and exiting vehicles.
Work is performed in an active rail and automotive facility, and employees should be prepared for changing temperatures and weather conditions. The environment may include rain, heat, cold, dust, elevated noise levels, moving vehicles, and railroad equipment.
Safety procedures and required PPE must be followed at all times.
