Shift & Work Schedule :

This position is primarily outdoor and involves supervising work in coal yards and rail yards .

Regular work will involve overtime and possibly on-call duties to cover absenteeism or ensure smooth operations across shifts.

The role may require working during weekends , and there is some potential for on-call duties , though not as frequent as other plant roles.
