About the role

CPKC is hiring for a Conductor in Savanna, Illinois, joining a unionized 24/7 rail operation. You will work in train or yard service, coordinate car movements, observe signals, and relay instructions by radio while following GCOR rules.
Qualifications: at least 18 years old, high school diploma or GED, valid driver's license, and ability to perform physically demanding tasks and unscheduled shifts outdoors.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
