Iron Horse Rail Services is hiring Railcar Cleaning Technicians to join our team. This is tough, industrial work — not janitorial cleaning. Our technicians work in confined spaces, wear chemical suits and supplied air, and use heavy-duty cleaning equipment to prepare railcars and tanks for safe reuse.
What You’ll Do
- Clean the interiors and exteriors of railcars and tanks using high-pressure equipment and industrial chemicals.
- Work in confined spaces, wearing full PPE (chemical suits, respirators, supplied air).
- Handle and properly dispose of industrial waste.
- Perform minor disassembly, inspection, and care of cleaning equipment.
- Follow strict safety procedures every day.
What We’re Looking For
- Comfortable with hard physical labor (lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing, crouching, working outdoors in heat/cold).
- Able to work safely in confined spaces and at heights.
- High school diploma or GED required.
- Experience with industrial cleaning, hydroblasting, blasting, or tank/railcar work is a big plus.
- Must be reliable, safety-focused, and willing to learn.
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly pay with growth opportunities.
- Full benefits package (health, 401k match, PTO, company-provided PPE).
- Career path in railcar services with training and development.
- A team-driven work culture focused on safety and quality.
