Pay Rate - $23.00 per hour

The Queens terminal is a transload terminal handling containers supporting Customer Waste Management. At this terminal, Watco Team Members bring railcars over from the New York & Atlantic Railway (NY&A) to the Review Avenue terminal. In addition to providing switching services, the Watco Team Members unload the container from the railcar, place it inside the Solid Waste Transfer Station where our customer loads the container. Watco Team Members then remove the container from the building and place it back on the railcar. Once the entire cut of railcars has been loaded, Watco Team Members then move the railcars back to the NY&A rail yard for interchange.
