What You'll Do

• Coordinate and direct train movements in our yard and on local track
• Execute and interpret switch lists and movement plans with a small crew
• Communicate clearly by radio and hand signals
• Perform track switches, coupling/uncoupling, air brake checks, and safety inspections
• Ensure compliance with all FRA and company safety rules and procedures
• Support efficient, error-free railcar movement and logistics
• Promote a strong safety culture and model professionalism for newer crew

What You Bring

• FRA Conductor certification preferred, or relevant rail experience with ability to certify quickly
• 1–3+ years in rail switching, train crew, or conductor roles
• High safety awareness and attention to detail
• Solid communication and teamwork skills
• Willingness to work outdoors in all conditions and on rotating shifts
• Basic problem-solving and route planning aptitude
• High reliability and commitment to being on time and ready to work every shift

Why Iron Horse?

• Career growth: Engineer track available after Conductor
• Company-paid HMO health insurance for employees
• Dental, vision, and retirement benefits
• Paid time off and set shift schedules — not on-call

Serious Work. Real Responsibility.

As a Conductor at Iron Horse, you’ll lead small, tight-knit crews, make safety-critical decisions, and help shape the yard’s daily performance. We’re growing fast — and we promote from within. If you’re ready for more than just a job, join a team that rewards safety, skill, and leadership.
