A supervisor is responsible for leading a team of employees to safely and efficiently conduct train operations. This includes servicing local rail customers and inbounding and departing of trains.  The expectation of working as a Transportation Supervisor includes an all around the clock business, so prepare to work a non-traditional schedule that includes 50+ hour work weeks, and non-traditional and/or rotating days off. You will also be working in various weather conditions which may or may not consist of heavy wind, hot weather, heavy rain, snow, and sleet. In this “boots on the ground” position, expect to spend time in rail towers, dispatch centers, and even riding trains. As an Operations Supervisor, you will be an integral part of moving freight safely and efficiently to our customers, which is our number one priority and the key to success at Norfolk Southern.
