    Transload Loader - $18.00/hour 📍 Location: Knoxville, TN

     

    Company Overview: At Road & Rail Services, we've been a trusted provider of rail-related operations and maintenance since 1987. With a strong focus on safety, innovation, and employee development, we support railroads, shippers, and equipment owners across North America. Our team is built on a culture of collaboration and long-term career growth-many of our leaders started exactly where you are now.

     

    Position Summary: We are seeking a hands-on, safety-minded individual to join our team as a Transload Loader. In this essential role, you will be responsible for transferring bulk products-both hazardous and non-hazardous-between railcars and tanker trucks. You'll operate transfer equipment, prepare materials for loading or unloading, and ensure full compliance with environmental and safety regulations, including EPA, FRA, and OSHA guidelines.

     

    This position is physically active and conducted outdoors in all weather conditions. You'll be climbing ladders up to 20 feet high, occasionally working in full hazmat suits, and engaging directly with mechanical equipment and sensitive product transfers. A strong attention to detail and commitment to safety are absolutely essential.

    Key Responsibilities:

    + Safely transfer liquid or gas products between rail and truck.

    + Operate pumps, hoses, valves, and related equipment.

    + Prepare products for transfer (heat, sparge, or sample as needed).

    + Complete all logs, manifests, and compliance documentation accurately.

    + Conduct pre-transfer inspections and basic equipment maintenance.

     

    Why Road & Rail Services? We offer competitive pay and a full benefits package, including medical, dental, 401(k), paid time off, and holidays. You'll receive all required PPE, an annual steel-toe boot allowance, and access to real advancement opportunities through our promote-from-within culture. We're also proud to be a veteran-friendly employer.

     

    Qualifications: Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED, a valid driver's license, and the physical ability to lift up to 60 lbs, climb ladders, and work in demanding outdoor environments. Prior experience in industrial, rail, or transload operations is a plus.
