Job description

California Transit Services is hiring one full-time Transload Operator for our rail-served yard in City of Industry. You'll move food-grade and industrial liquids between railcars, tank trailers, totes, and drums — all inside our fence, never behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle. Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. W-2 employee, weekly pay, year-round work. No CDL and no prior transloading experience required — we train, and you'll work directly with our Fleet & Terminal Operations Lead.

Pay: $22–$25/hr to start · Weekly pay · Mon–Fri days

Hours: Full time, Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM (times approximate; occasional overtime when a railcar runs long)

The work:

• Transfer liquid product between railcars and tank trailers, and between totes, drums, and tankers
• Set up, connect, operate, and break down transfer hoses, pumps, fittings, and valves
• Verify railcar seals, product identity, and quantities before and after every transfer
• Complete bills of lading, certificates of analysis, seal logs, and transfer records
• Wash and stage hoses, totes, tools, and fittings; keep food-grade and industrial equipment separate
• Repackage product into IBC totes and drums; label and stage for shipment
• Draw, log, and retain product samples
• Inspect railcars on arrival and release; follow chock, derail, and blue-flag procedures
• Keep the spur, pump area, and equipment clean and ready for the next job
• Light yard and track upkeep — clearing debris, hand digging, basic power tools and small equipment
• Data entry, printing, scanning, and filing of transfer paperwork
• Other duties as assigned in support of terminal and trucking operations

Requirements:

• Authorized to work in the United States
• Reliable for a 6:30 AM start, Monday through Friday
• Read, write, and do basic math in English — gauges, labels, bills of lading, gallons-to-pounds conversions
• Follow written safety procedures: lockout/tagout, fall protection, heat illness prevention, and our no-entry rule for railcars and tanks
• Work outdoors year-round, climb railcar and trailer ladders, and handle hoses and fittings (typically 25–50 lb), with or without reasonable accommodation
• Pass a short on-site skills assessment: practical math, document reading, safety judgment, and fitting identification
• Pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check

Nice to have:

• Forklift certification or experience — strongly preferred
• Railcar loading/unloading, bulk liquid transload, tank wash, or liquid terminal experience
• Food-grade, kosher, or GMP handling experience
• Hands-on experience with pumps, camlock fittings, and hose setups
• Comfortable with basic data entry and scanning/printing
• Bilingual English/Spanish

What we offer:

• Steady W-2 employment with full payroll taxes covered
• $22–$25 per hour to start, based on experience, paid weekly
• Day shift, Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM
• Overtime paid when loads run long
• Hands-on training from day one, with a 90-day structured sign-off plan
• Forklift and food-safety training provided
• Year-round work — no seasonal layoffs
• Home every day

The work is railcar-to-tanker and tanker-to-railcar liquid transfer — glycerine, base oils, wax, and other non-hazardous food-grade and industrial products — plus tote and drum work at our City of Industry rail spur. Everything happens inside our yard; you never operate a commercial vehicle on public roads.

Location: 13226 Nelson Ave E, City of Industry, CA 91746. Yard-based; no driving.
