Track Worker / Equipment Operator
About The Position
As a Track Worker / Equipment Operator in Butler, PA, your work keeps freight moving safely and efficiently across the country. Each morning begins with a safety briefing-because safety isn't just a rule here, it's our way of life. You'll join your crew outdoors, working side by side with experienced teammates who share your commitment to getting the job done right. On any given day, you may operate backhoes, tampers, or graders to repair and maintain track. One moment you're cutting rails to precise measurements, the next you're replacing ties or aligning track for a smooth ride. You'll clear vegetation, lubricate switches, and install crossings, always making sure every piece of track meets strict standards before trains roll through. The work is physical, steady, and hands-on, but it's also deeply rewarding-you'll see the results of your effort every time a train passes safely over the track you maintained. No two days are exactly alike, and every day ends with the pride of knowing your work keeps America's supply chain moving.
