GeoStabilization International median: 45 days open

The posting

GeoStabilization International (GSI), Access Limited, and RoadGuard together form a leading infrastructure solutions platform dedicated to protecting people and strengthening critical infrastructure across North America and New Zealand.

GSI is the premier geohazard mitigation firm specializing in emergency slope stabilization, landslide repair, grouting, and micropiles through innovative design-build delivery. Access Limited brings over a century of steep-slope expertise and operates North America’s largest fleet of spider excavators, delivering complex rockfall and geotechnical solutions in the most challenging environments. RoadGuard, founded in 2024, unites industry-leading roadway safety companies providing guardrail, bridge railing, highway signage, fencing, and specialty fabrication services.

Across all our businesses, we are driven by innovation, extreme ownership, technical excellence, and a relentless commitment to measurable results that improve safety and infrastructure resilience.

If you've spent your career managing field crews on active right-of-way — keeping people safe, solving problems under pressure, and coordinating emergency response in terrain that doesn't cooperate — you already know how to do this job.

GSI is specifically recruiting field leaders from the railroad and rail services industry for this role. You don't need a geotechnical or drilling background to apply. If you’ve been a RoadMaster, Track Supervisor, MOW Superintendent or Supervisor, the safety culture, crew leadership, and right-of-way experience you've already built will help you be successful here. We'll teach you the rest through hands-on mentorship and structured training.

See the RailJet tech page: RailJet Technology - Railroad Repair | GeoStabilization

This is a high-travel role for people based anywhere in the continental US.

What You'll Do

As a Rail Infrastructure Superintendent, you'll lead field crews executing slope stabilization, geohazard mitigation, and emergency response projects on and adjacent to active railroad corridors across the U.S. You are the decision-maker on the ground — managing safety, production, quality, and your people simultaneously.

  • Lead crews installing slope stabilization systems, soil nails, rock anchors, drainage solutions, shotcrete, and grouting to protect rail corridors from landslides, rockfall, scour, and embankment failure
  • Create and execute site-specific safety plans before every shift — protecting your people is priority one
  • Manage production, schedule, and budget performance with real autonomy and accountability
  • Coordinate with GSI project managers, engineers, and railroad clients to plan access, work windows, and phasing on active corridors
  • Coach and develop your crew — you'll lead 4–6 people who need your instincts and experience to grow
  • Handle daily documentation: logs, photos, as-builts, safety checklists, and compliance records
  • Manage equipment maintenance and jobsite organization
  • Respond to emergency callouts — GSI deploys 24/7 and you'll be part of that response network

What Your Railroad Experience Gives You

The skills that make a strong railroad field supervisor translate directly to this role:

  • Active ROW crew management maps directly to leading GSI crews in constrained, high-consequence terrain — slopes, embankments, tunnel portals, and live corridors
  • FRA / Roadway Worker Protection compliance maps directly to GSI's safety culture — safety is a leadership behavior here, not a checklist
  • 24/7 emergency response experience maps directly to GSI's deployment model for slope failures, rockfalls, and landslides — same urgency, same accountability
  • Track window and dispatcher coordination maps directly to coordinating with railroad clients and GSI engineers to execute within access constraints
  • Traveling crew supervision across a territory maps directly to leading GSI field crews deployed nationally on a travel rotation
  • Terrain reading and hazard recognition maps directly to reading slope conditions, executing stabilization plans, and escalating to GSI's engineering team when conditions change
  • Daily reporting and compliance documentation maps directly to GSI's field documentation requirements — same discipline, GSI's format

What You Bring

Required:

  • 5+ years managing field crews on active railroad right-of-way, in MOW construction, or in closely related heavy civil or infrastructure environments
  • Deep familiarity with FRA compliance and Roadway Worker Protection — you enforce it without being asked
  • Proven track record leading people on physically demanding, safety-critical jobsites in varying terrain and conditions
  • Ability to read scopes, specs, and plans and execute a project from the ground up
  • Strong, clear communication with crews, clients, and internal teams
  • Comfort with 100% travel — if you've worked a territory rotation or traveled for MOW work, you know the model
  • Valid driver's license; CDL-A is a plus

Preferred — but not required to apply:

  • Prior experience on geotechnical, slope stabilization, drilling, or civil construction projects
  • OSHA 30 or construction safety certification in addition to FRA/GCOR knowledge
  • Experience interfacing with railroad engineering or contractor oversight teams on active corridor projects
  • Hi-rail certification or experience working from rail-mounted equipment

Why Superintendents Choose GSI

  • Autonomy. You run your job. GSI trusts you to make calls without someone breathing down your neck — and stands behind the decisions you make.
  • Ownership. Every Superintendent earns equity in the company. You're an actual owner here.
  • Real advancement. Clear path to Senior Superintendent, General Superintendent, and Operations Manager roles. GSI promotes from within and the path is well-worn.
  • Schedule structure. Travel is real — this is 100% travel. But GSI actively works to get you home when you're off. When you're off, you're off.
  • Work that matters. You're not building parking lots. You're protecting railroad infrastructure, keeping roads open, and preventing failures that endanger communities.
  • Safety recognized externally. ADSC Safety Award, Association of Geohazard Professionals Safety Recognition, and Gold Shovel Standard certified — because our safety culture is real.

Compensation & Benefits

  • $33–$50 per hour (based on experience)
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Equity ownership program
  • 100% paid travel (lodging, per diem)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (HSA/FSA eligible)
  • Life, disability, and accident insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Generous paid time off

Work Conditions

  • Outdoor work in climates ranging from mountains to deserts
  • Active construction site hazards and noise levels
  • Regular lifting of 75 lbs+
  • Extensive travel — up to 100% across the U.S.
