Job Description

About the Role Step into a hands-on position where metalwork meets mechanical know‑how. As a Railcar Mechanic-Welder Technician, you'll blend basic stick welding with railcar repair tasks, building skills through on‑the‑job experience and supervised practice. A Day in the Life Begin with material handling to stage components for repair. Operate shop equipment and mechanical hand tools to support general railcar repairs.

Contribute to shop upkeep and routine maintenance across the car rail shop.
