Job description

Birmingham, Al Train Conductor

Norfolk Southern (NS) invites dedicated individuals to join our team as Train Conductors. As a Train Conductor, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the secure and efficient movement of freight trains. This dynamic position encompasses a range of responsibilities including coupling railcars to construct trains, delivering railcars to local customers, and transporting trains over extended distances. The conductor position can often mean a significant lifestyle change as the work schedule is often non-traditional and requires many to be available to work on a 90-minute notice.

Responsibilities :

  • Prioritize safety to ensure the safe transport of freight.
  • Safely connect and disconnect railcars to assemble and disassemble trains as per the designated configuration.
  • Deliver railcars to local customers, ensuring safe, timely, and precise service.
  • Safely transport trains over long distances.
  • Maintain clear communication with other crew members, dispatchers, and relevant personnel to coordinate activities and respond to instructions.
  • Adhere to a non-traditional work schedule with availability on short notice.

Compensation :

  • Conductor Trainees (CT) during training : $25 per hour with a minimum of $200 per shift.
  • After training, Conductors earn an average of $75,000 in the first year.
  • Experienced Conductors average $85,000 per year.
  • Promotion opportunities to Locomotive Engineer based on location needs and seniority.
  • Locomotive Engineers have a minimum guarantee of approximately $94,000, with the potential to earn $100,000+.
  • Training :

  • Comprehensive 47-month training program including Classroom and On-The-Job (OJT) Training.
  • CT's are required to successfully complete training and qualify for a Conductors License.
  • First 5 weeks of employment at NS Training Center in McDonough, GA. Individuals are responsible for providing their own transportation to the area. Norfolk Southern will provide the hotel accommodation, a mileage reimbursement, and a meal stipend during the 5-week training period in McDonough, GA. The remaining training will take place at or near the hire location for on-the-job training.
  • Work Schedule :

  • Irregular schedules determined by business needs.
  • Many jobs are on-call 24 / 7 with a 90-minute notice when not on a scheduled off day.
  • Minimum two rest days for every six consecutive working days.
  • Routine time away from home, 1-2 days at a time.
  • Benefits :

  • Medical insurance for you, your spouse, and eligible dependents is provided on the first day of the second calendar month of employment.
  • After one year of employment, you are eligible for dental insurance to cover yourself and eligible dependents, a $20,000 life insurance plan for yourself, and participation in the Norfolk Southern 401(K) plan.
  • You are subject to Railroad Retirement taxes paid at a rate equivalent to Social Security tax plus an additional 4.9%. You are also covered by Railroad Retirement benefits and, following completion of the service requirement, you will be eligible for Railroad Retirement benefits.
  • Conductors can also qualify for up to 5 weeks of paid time off based on their work record and seniority.
  • Union Membership :

  • You will be required to join a union within 60 days of becoming a conductor and establishing a seniority date.
  • Work Environment :

  • A conductor should expect to work outdoors in all types of weather conditions. This may mean working in poor weather conditions day or night.
  • Alcohol and Drug Policy :

  • Conductors are subject to random alcohol and drug testing as per the Federal Railroad Administration Guidelines. The Norfolk Southern Policy is ZERO TOLERANCE. We maintain a drug-free workplace and perform pre-employment substance abuse testing.
  • Company Overview :

  • Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE : NSC) is a Fortune 300 organization and one of the nation's premier transportation companies.
