Composite Locomotive Repairman

Once relocated, Mulberry will be your primary work location. You will perform locomotive inspection, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair work on-site while also traveling to other locations periodically to support projects and operational needs.

This is not an entry-level mechanical position. Candidates must have previous hands-on experience maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing locomotives.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

Inspecting and troubleshooting diesel locomotives

Diagnosing mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and operational problems

Completing scheduled inspections and preventive maintenance

Repairing and replacing locomotive components and assemblies

Troubleshooting diesel engines, air brake systems, electrical systems, compressors, and related equipment

Performing welding, cutting, fabrication, and mechanical repairs

Reading electrical and mechanical schematics, technical manuals, and repair documentation

Using diagnostic equipment, hand tools, power tools, and specialized railroad equipment

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

We're looking for candidates who already know the work and can bring proven locomotive maintenance skills to our Mulberry operation.

Candidates should have:

Direct experience inspecting, troubleshooting, and repairing locomotives

Strong knowledge of diesel locomotive mechanical systems

Mechanical and electrical troubleshooting abilities

Experience with air, brake, diesel engine, and related locomotive systems

Welding and fabrication experience

Ability to interpret schematics, diagrams, and technical documentation

Experience using mechanical tools and diagnostic equipment

Ability to troubleshoot problems and complete repairs with limited supervision

Strong understanding of railroad and industrial safety practices

Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record

Ability to travel periodically after relocating to Florida

Candidates without previous hands-on locomotive repair experience will not meet the minimum experience requirements for this position.

This is an important part of the opportunity: we are looking for someone who wants to relocate and make Mulberry, FL their primary work location.

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.

Road & Rail Services offers:

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

401(k) with company match

Paid holidays and vacation

Weekly safety incentive opportunities

Annual steel-toe boot allowance

Company-provided PPE

Opportunities for advancement
