Description

Do you enjoy leading by example, operating heavy equipment, solving mechanical problems, and working outdoors? If you're looking for a hands-on leadership role where no two days are the same, A&K Railroad Materials wants to hear from you.

For more than 65 years, A&K Railroad Materials has been a trusted leader in supplying new and used railroad track materials across North America. We're looking for a working Rail Yard Operations Foreman to help lead our yard operations while working alongside the team to keep materials moving safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

You'll operate heavy equipment, support equipment maintenance, perform fabrication and welding, organize inventory, and help maintain a safe, productive rail yard. If you enjoy staying busy, troubleshooting challenges, and taking pride in seeing a job through, you'll fit right in.

Requirements

  • Experience operating heavy equipment such as large forklifts, loaders, backhoes, or skid steers required
  • Mechanical aptitude with equipment troubleshooting and basic repairs required
  • Welding and fabrication experience required
  • Experience in rail, construction, manufacturing, heavy industrial, or similar environments
  • Strong commitment to safety, teamwork, and reliability
  • Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions and perform physically demanding work

Why Join A&K Railroad Materials?

At A&K, we believe great leaders work alongside their teams. You'll join a company with a long history of success where hard work is recognized, safety comes first, and every employee plays an important role in keeping America's rail infrastructure moving.

We offer:

  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Disability Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays
  • Tuition Reimbursement
  • Career Growth Opportunities
  • If you're ready to build your career with an established industry leader and enjoy hands-on work that makes a difference every day, we'd love to meet you.
