Locomotive Truck Rebuild Specialist

Bring rail power back to life—one locomotive truck at a time

At Siemens Mobility in Lexington, NC, you’ll join a tight-knit crew focused on rebuilding locomotive trucks for our TSSSA customers. Your work keeps trains running safely and reliably across the country.

A day in this role

At 7:00 a.m., your first-shift team huddles with the CS Production Manager to align on the day’s production plan. You roll a truck into your bay, pressure-wash key components for inspection, and dive into disassembly. Technical drawings guide your teardown and rebuild steps, while careful tool control, torque application, and measurements ensure quality. When wheelsets need attention, you re-profile them on a state-of-the-art wheel lathe. Using overhead cranes and approved lifting devices, you position assemblies safely. You’ll coordinate with the warehouse to pull spares, document each action accurately, and wrap the day by 3:30 p.m. with good workshop housekeeping.
