Rail Yard Operator careers
A Rail Yard Operator is responsible for managing and coordinating the movement of trains and railcars within a rail yard. This role involves coupling and uncoupling railcars, inspecting trains for safety and mechanical issues, and ensuring that cargo is properly loaded and secured.
Operators work closely with train drivers, maintenance crews, and logistics teams to facilitate efficient rail yard operations. They must adhere to strict safety protocols and regulations to prevent accidents and delays. The position requires strong attention to detail, physical stamina, and the ability to work in various weather conditions, often outdoors.
