Portec Rail Products, Inc. is the industry leader in components for track structure and rolling stock repair equipment for the railroad industry. Employees with a strong personal level of commitment and demonstrated extraordinary performance are the keys to our success. This has been established through employee job satisfaction that has resulted in a consistent, stable workforce. As we look to expand our Friction Management service business, we are seeking Product Application Specialists and Field Sales/Service Representatives with the same level of commitment and demonstrated performance to enable us to continue to provide a high level of personnel stability and quality services to our customers.
Product Application Specialist
The enhancement of our Friction Management services requires the Product Application Specialist to lead the progress of gage face lubrication, friction modifiers and solid stick technology while providing customer and field service support. A Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering or an equivalent technical degree with previous railroad industry experience will provide the necessary foundation for the Specialist in conducting technical trials and studies in the field for rail and wheel wear, lubrication, lateral forces, noise and friction. Technical writing skills are key for documenting scientific field trial and studies results. The Specialist will further be responsible for the operation of technical equipment including tribometers, sound meters, rail deflection and rail measurement gauges. This position will play a key role as a liaison with customers for meetings and field visits for the friction management products and services and will play an integral role in conducting site survey work for developing proposals for total friction management programs.
Field Sales/Service Representative
Top notch Field Sales/Service Representatives will provide the same high level of quality service in the total friction management arena that our customers have come to expect from Portec Rail. Service Representatives will be responsible for the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and training on all Portec Rail Group friction management products and services. A sound working knowledge of hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic and electrical systems with previous railroad industry experience is essential to the success of these positions. Service Representatives will also play a key role in product development and customer relations.
