MOVING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
The weight of the world moves on rail, but it doesn’t move itself. Thousands of skilled workers keep it going. And they do it with grit, heart, and dedication.
Throughout NS, women are influencing every aspect of the essential role we play in moving America’s economy; and nowhere more so than on the frontlines. We’re looking for women to join our operations team and play critical roles in moving tons upon tons of freight safely for our nation every day.
A career in operations at Norfolk Southern can provide endless opportunities to learn, grow, and build a successful career. From having their hand on the throttle operating our locomotives, to monitoring our trains and our network for safety and efficiency from our Network Operations Center, to ensuring we’re investing in our tracks and bridges to build a safe, reliable railroad, women in operations are at the forefront of all we do.
There are a variety of roles across operations that will allow you to blaze your own path, challenge yourself, and find solutions to make a direct impact on our country’s supply chain. Starting a career with us, we welcome all experience levels and backgrounds. A job at Norfolk Southern provides you with a long-term career path with growth potential to become a leader in the organization.
We offer extremely competitive compensation, sought-after benefits, professional development, and networking opportunities are just a few of the ways that NS supports the growth and achievement of women. NS offers a lifetime of job security at an almost 200-year-old company that moves America’s freight. Find a career that will move you, and America, forward.
