We serve major railroads, smaller lines, transit systems, and contractors across the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico. Our mission is to ensure the protection of workers, customers, and communities by maintaining leadership in railroad safety.
As a Railroad Flagger, you will be the critical link in keeping workers safe on active train tracks. This role involves controlling train movements and enforcing federal safety rules to support a wide range of infrastructure projects. You will operate in a dynamic field environment, coordinating activities at job sites and communicating clearly with dispatchers, train crews, and contractors. Your day-to-day work requires leading safety briefings, ensuring all personnel meet training requirements, and maintaining strict adherence to railroad, state, and federal regulations.
This position is highly mobile, with travel expected 50% to 85% of the time, often requiring long periods away from home. You will work outdoors in diverse conditions, including extreme heat and cold, dust, and noise. The role demands physical stamina to stand for long periods, walk on uneven ground, and lift up to 50 pounds. Success in this role requires excellent vision and the ability to communicate effectively in English.
