Vehicle Handler – Automotive Operations

Road & Rail Services
Starting Pay: $18.50 per hour
Job Type: Full-Time

Start a Career in Automotive & Transportation

Road & Rail Services is hiring dependable, safety-minded Vehicle Handlers to join our automotive operations team. This is an active, hands-on position where you will help move newly manufactured vehicles through the transportation process.

As a Vehicle Handler, your primary responsibility will be safely unloading new automobiles from railcars and driving them to assigned parking or staging areas throughout the facility. No CDL is required.

If you have experience in general labor, warehouse operations, automotive work, driving, manufacturing, transportation, material handling, or outdoor labor, your background may transfer well to this position. We are also interested in dependable candidates who are looking for an opportunity to learn a new industry and build a long-term career.

What You'll Be Doing

• Drive new vehicles safely off railcars using designated ramps and unloading procedures
• Transport vehicles to assigned staging, inventory, or parking locations
• Follow established traffic patterns, speed limits, and customer safety requirements
• Perform basic visual checks for noticeable vehicle damage or concerns
• Enter and exit multiple vehicles throughout the shift
• Maintain appropriate spacing when driving and parking vehicles
• Climb railcar ladders and work around rail equipment when necessary
• Follow instructions from supervisors, leads, and other members of the operations team
• Remain aware of pedestrians, coworkers, vehicles, and equipment in the surrounding work area
• Immediately report damage, hazards, or unsafe conditions
• Maintain clean and orderly work areas
• Wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Support additional vehicle-handling and general labor tasks as needed

What We're Looking For

• A valid driver's license
• The ability to safely operate passenger vehicles
• Reliable attendance and the ability to report to work on time
• A safety-first mindset
• The ability to understand and follow written and verbal directions
• Willingness to work outside in changing weather conditions
• Ability to climb ladders and work at heights of up to approximately 16 feet
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment
• A willingness to learn new responsibilities and procedures

An Active, Outdoor Position

This is not a desk job. Vehicle Handlers spend much of their shift walking, standing, bending, climbing, and repeatedly entering and exiting vehicles.

Work is performed in an active rail and automotive facility, and employees should be prepared for changing temperatures and weather conditions. The environment may include rain, heat, cold, dust, elevated noise levels, moving vehicles, and railroad equipment.

Safety procedures and required PPE must be followed at all times.

Benefits & Career Opportunities

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan with company matching
• Paid holidays
• Paid vacation
• Annual shoe and steel-toe boot allowance
• Company-provided Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Opportunities for advancement and promotion from within
• Veteran-friendly workplace

Benefit eligibility and coverage are subject to applicable plan terms and employment status.
