Job Description

Allentown, PA 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.
