Responsibilities:

  • Prioritize safety to ensure the secure transport of freight.
  • Safely connect and disconnect railcars to assemble and disassemble trains according to designated configurations.
  • Deliver railcars to local customers, ensuring safe, timely, and precise service.
  • Safely transport trains over extended 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 4-7 month training program including Classroom and On-The-Job (OJT) Training.
  • CTs are required to successfully complete training and qualify for a Conductors License.
  • First 3 weeks of employment at NS Training Center in McDonough, GA.

Norfolk Southern will provide hotel accommodation, mileage reimbursement, and a meal stipend during the 3-week training period in McDonough, GA. The remaining training will take place at or near the hire location for on-the-job training.

  • Minimum two rest days for every six consecutive working days.
  • Routine time away from home, 1-2 days at a time.

A CT will expect to work a schedule similar to that of a regular conductor. As a conductor, you will most likely be assigned to a conductor's extra board. Conductor extra boards have schedules with a minimum of two rest days for every six consecutive working days. While not on your rest days, you are subject to be called to work 24 hours a day, on an as-needed basis. Extra board work schedules are irregular and are determined by business needs.

Benefits:

  • Medical insurance for you, your spouse, and eligible dependents is provided on the first day of the second calendar month of employment.
  • After one year of employment, you are eligible for dental insurance to cover yourself and eligible dependents, a $20,000 life insurance plan for yourself, and participation in the Norfolk Southern 401(K) plan.
  • You are subject to Railroad Retirement taxes paid at a rate equivalent to Social Security tax plus an additional 4.9%.
  • You are also covered by Railroad Retirement benefits and, following completion of the service requirement, you will be eligible for Railroad Retirement benefits.
  • Conductors can also qualify for up to 5 weeks of paid time off based on their work record and seniority.

Union Membership:

You will be required to join a union within 60 days of becoming a conductor and establishing a seniority date.

Work Environment:

A conductor should expect to work outdoors in all types of weather conditions. This may mean working in poor weather conditions day or night.

Alcohol and Drug Policy:

Conductors are subject to random alcohol and drug testing as per the Federal Railroad Administration Guidelines. The Norfolk Southern Policy is ZERO TOLERANCE. We maintain a drug-free workplace and perform pre-employment substance abuse testing.
