About The Position

GeoStabilization International (GSI), Access Limited, and RoadGuard together form a leading infrastructure solutions platform dedicated to protecting people and strengthening critical infrastructure across North America and New Zealand. GSI is the premier geohazard mitigation firm specializing in emergency slope stabilization, landslide repair, grouting, and micropiles through innovative design-build delivery. Access Limited brings over a century of steep-slope expertise and operates North America’s largest fleet of spider excavators, delivering complex rockfall and geotechnical solutions in the most challenging environments. RoadGuard, founded in 2024, unites industry-leading roadway safety companies providing guardrail, bridge railing, highway signage, fencing, and specialty fabrication services. Across all our businesses, we are driven by innovation, extreme ownership, technical excellence, and a relentless commitment to measurable results that improve safety and infrastructure resilience. If you've spent your career managing field crews on active right-of-way — keeping people safe, solving problems under pressure, and coordinating emergency response in terrain that doesn't cooperate — you already know how to do this job. GSI is specifically recruiting field leaders from the railroad and rail services industry for this role. You don't need a geotechnical or drilling background to apply. If you’ve been a RoadMaster, Track Supervisor, MOW Superintendent or Supervisor, the safety culture, crew leadership, and right-of-way experience you've already built will help you be successful here. We'll teach you the rest through hands-on mentorship and structured training. See the RailJet tech page: RailJet Technology - Railroad Repair | GeoStabilization. This is a high-travel role for people based anywhere in the continental US.
