About the Role

We are seeking a Class A CDL Driver/Operator to support emergency train derailment response and rerailing operations. While driving is only about 10% of the role, you will also operate heavy equipment, assist with rerailing and load transfer activities, perform maintenance, and support track-related work.

This is an on-call position requiring availability 24/7, including weekends and holidays. The average workweek is approximately 60+ hours, with some weeks reaching 70 hours.

Responsibilities

  • Perform pre- and post-trip inspections of trucks, trailers, and equipment according to company and D.O.T. requirements.
  • Drive tractor-trailers to and from job sites and safely transport equipment and materials.
  • Inspect loads and verify transportation permits for overweight and oversize equipment.
  • Participate in daily safety briefings and work planning.
  • Load, unload, move, and stage equipment and materials for rerailing, load transfer, and track work.
  • Assist with the assembly, inspection, and operation of cranes and other heavy equipment.
  • Assist with rigging and connecting chains, cables, and winches during derailment operations.
  • Operate equipment such as cranes, backhoes, grapple trucks, dump trucks, excavators, front-end loaders, bulldozers, rail-bound equipment, tractors, and skid-steer loaders.
  • Use hydraulic tools, welding and cutting torches, electrical tools, and common hand tools.
  • Perform minor equipment and vehicle maintenance and report more complex mechanical issues.
  • Assist with disassembly and loading of cranes and other equipment.
  • Restock vehicles and equipment with parts, components, and supplies.
  • Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas, vehicles, and equipment.
  • Follow all required safety policies and procedures.
  • Perform other physical and operational tasks as needed to support the team.

Requirements

  • Valid Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL-A) with a good driving record.
  • Experience in construction labor or a similar physically demanding role.
  • Ability and willingness to operate standard construction equipment.
  • Must be able to perform physical labor as required.
  • Must pass required qualification, training, and safety programs.
  • Must be available 24/7 for emergency calls, including weekends and holidays.

Preferred Experience

  • 3+ years of experience operating heavy equipment, including backhoes, bulldozers, excavators, front-end loaders, grapple trucks, rail-bound equipment, tractors, and skid-steer loaders, or an equivalent combination of training and experience.

Additional Details

  • Driving is approximately 10% of the job; this is not an over-the-road driving position.
  • During downtime, employees may assist in the shop with safety training and preventive maintenance (PM) on equipment.
  • Work may involve responding to train derailments and performing rerailing, load transfer, track maintenance/repair, and related operations.
  • Hours worked outside of Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–4:00 PM are paid at the overtime rate (1.5x).

Pre-Employment Requirements

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
