Job Description

Job Description

Are you mechanically inclined and looking to build a career in a critical, hands-on industry? We are seeking a dependable, safety-conscious Railcar Mechanic to join our team. If you enjoy working with your hands, have a strong mechanical or welding background, and take pride in quality workmanship, we want to hear from you.

About the Role
As a Railcar Mechanic, you will be responsible for the essential inspection and maintenance of rail assets. This is an active, outdoors-based role where you will play a key part in ensuring our operations run smoothly, safely, and to high industry standards. We offer a "promote-from-within" culture, meaning this is a great opportunity to start a long-term career.

What You’ll Do

  • Inspect & Identify: Conduct thorough inspections of railcars to identify damage and fatigue.
  • Perform Repairs: Execute authorized repairs to customer and AAR specifications.
  • Operate Equipment: Safely operate various mechanical equipment, including all-terrain vehicles and tractors.
  • Prioritize Safety: Follow all company guidelines and safety rules to ensure a secure work environment for yourself and your team.

What You Bring

  • Technical Skill: A strong mechanical background is required. Experience with welding (stick welding is ideal) is highly recommended.
  • Tool Proficiency: Ability to use basic hand tools effectively, such as pipe wrenches, pry bars, ratchets, and wrenches.
  • Dependability: A proven track record of showing up on time and working safely.
  • Licensure: A valid state driver's license is required if you are operating company equipment.

Physical, Mental & Environmental Demands
This is a physically demanding role. You must be comfortable with the following:

  • Environment: Constant outdoor work in all weather conditions, including extreme heat, cold, dust, and noisy environments.
  • Movement: Frequent bending, squatting, twisting, and walking throughout your shift.
  • Lifting & Force: Ability to frequently open railcar end doors, applying a pulling force of 90 lbs. and a pushing force of 68 lbs.
  • Height: Ability to occasionally climb ladders to heights exceeding 16 feet.

Why Join Our Team

  • Comprehensive Benefits: Full package including Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.
  • Financial Future: 401(k) plan with company match.
  • Safety & Security: Yearly safety bonuses, weekly rail safety incentives for punctuality, and all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided.
  • Support & Perks: Annual steel-toe boot allowance and paid holidays/vacations.
  • Career Growth: A "promote-from-within" mentality and opportunities to join specialized travel teams.

Equal Opportunity Employer: Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, National Origin, Age, Genetic Information, Disability, Protected Veteran Status, or any other legally protected group status.

At Randstad, we welcome people of all abilities and want to ensure that our hiring and interview process meets the needs of all applicants. If you require a reasonable accommodation to make your application or interview experience a great one, please contact us.

This posting is open for thirty (30) days.
