Responsible for the repair of various types of railcars and/or tank

Duties and Responsibilities
Qualifications
With the exception of clerical, administrative, and some management
positions, which require indoor work, the physical environment
requires the employee to work both inside and outside in heat/cold,
wet/humid, dry/arid, and dusty conditions. The environment requires
working in close proximity to moving mechanical parts, moving
vehicles, in high and low precarious places, as well as in confined
spaces.
The work type is best described as heavy, hands-on mechanical work.
Work is very physical, and without proper work planning can result
in out-of-position pushing, pulling, and lifting. Proper body
mechanics, positioning, and lifting techniques can be very
important. Employees are urged to seek help when needed with
heavier tasks and to use lifting equipment when and where
necessary. The positioning of the work being performed can change
very frequently.
Various heavier air and electric-powered tools such as car jacks,
impact wrenches, and grinders are used daily. Work also requires
frequent use of hand wrenches, hammers, chisels, socket wrenches,
and ladders. Cutting torches are also used with welding equipment
upon qualification of the employee.
