• Testing completed repairs before locomotives are returned to service
• Accurately documenting inspections, maintenance, and completed repairs
• Following company, customer, railroad, and applicable FRA safety requirements

After relocating, you will primarily report to and work at our Mulberry locomotive maintenance operation. Some travel will be required to assist other locations, projects, or customers as business needs arise, but this is not a 100% travel position.

Work is performed in an active railroad and industrial environment. You should be comfortable working outdoors in Florida weather and around locomotives, railroad tracks, heavy equipment, noise, grease, dirt, and moving machinery.

The position requires standing, walking, climbing, bending, kneeling, reaching, and handling the tools, parts, and equipment necessary to perform locomotive maintenance and repairs.
