About the position
Parsec, Inc. is seeking a Hostler Driver / Groundman to join our team at the CSX Avon, IN Intermodal Yard. This position is crucial for the efficient operation of our intermodal terminal management services, which we have been providing since 1949. As a Hostler Driver / Groundman, you will be responsible for directing crane operators in the movement of cargo containers and preparing railcars for loading and unloading. This role requires a combination of driving and operational skills, as you will also be tasked with driving trailers and chassis with containers around the rail yard terminal as they are loaded and unloaded to and from the train. Once you have completed all necessary training, your responsibilities will include preparing rail cars for the correct size of trailers and containers, guiding crane operators during the unloading and loading processes, and ensuring that all safety protocols are followed. You will also be responsible for installing inter box connector locks (IBC) and climbing onto rail cars to manage these locks.
