About the role

CDL-A Track Equipment Operator Location: Kansas City, MO Job Type: Direct Hire Schedule: Full-Time Pay: Starting at $26.00/hour — higher rates may be available depending on experience Position Overview We are hiring a Class A CDL Equipment Operator to support railroad track construction, maintenance, repair, and emergency recovery work. This is primarily a hands-on equipment and labor position—not an over-the-road driving job. Driving generally makes up only about 10% of the work. Team members spend most of their time operating equipment, moving materials, assisting with track projects, and performing physical work at job sites. The role requires flexibility and the ability to respond to emergency assignments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. When emergency work is not active, employees may assist at the shop with safety training, equipment inspections, and preventive maintenance (PM).

  • Transport equipment and materials to and from job sites.
  • Inspect loads and verify permits for oversized or overweight equipment.
  • Participate in daily work planning and safety meetings.
  • Load, unload, move, and stage equipment and materials for track and railroad projects.
  • Assist with railroad track maintenance, repair, construction, grading, and related field work.
  • Support load adjustment and transfer operations.
  • Help assemble, inspect, and operate cranes and other equipment.
  • Assist with rigging using chains, cables, and winches.
  • Operate equipment such as: • Cranes

  • Excavators
  • Front-end loaders
  • Grapple trucks
  • Dump trucks
  • Rail-bound equipment
  • Tractors
  • Skid-steer loaders
  • Use hydraulic tools, welding equipment, cutting torches, electrical tools, and common hand tools.
  • Monitor equipment and vehicles for safe and reliable operation.
  • Perform and document minor equipment and vehicle maintenance.
  • Assist with equipment disassembly, loading, and job-site cleanup.
  • Restock vehicles and equipment with parts, components, and supplies.
  • Maintain clean and organized vehicles, equipment, tools, and work areas.
  • Follow all safety policies and procedures.
  • Assist other teams or departments when needed.

Requirements

  • Valid Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a good driving record.
  • Construction labor, heavy equipment, or other physically demanding work experience.
  • Ability to operate heavy equipment safely.
  • Ability to complete required qualification, training, and safety programs.
  • Must be available 24/7 for emergency calls, including weekends and holidays.
  • Comfortable performing physical labor and working extended hours when needed.
  • Drug screening
  • Background check
