Assistant Conductor Metro North
METRO-NORTH RAILROAD CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR
MTA Metro-North Railroad, an organization with a vital role in the economy of New York State and Connecticut, is a subsidiary agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the largest such authority in the United States. Metro-North is a dynamic organization with a strong focus on customer service, safety, new technologies, and service expansion. With a staff of approximately 5,900 people, Metro-North serves more than one million customers per week over 384 miles of rail that link historic Grand Central Terminal (GCT) in New York City and 120 stations in New York State and Connecticut. Metro-North rewards employee resourcefulness, encourages innovation and offers excellent job opportunities in a challenging and diverse environment.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Assistant Conductors are train service employees, responsible for collecting fares and ensuring that customers have a safe and comfortable ride. Their major duties include: 1) registering on-time for duty; 2) making clear announcements and answering customers questions in a helpful and friendly manner; 3) climbing onto and preparing trains for service; 4) computing fares, selling tickets, making change and preparing and submitting cash reports accurately and on time; 5) enforcing train safety rules and working safely; 6) operating doors at station stops as well as assisting customers on and off trains; 7) responding to medical emergencies, equipment breakdowns, and evacuating customers in emergencies; and 8) assisting with yard switching duties and assisting in making up trains.

Enjoy dealing with the general public.
Must successfully complete the training program and probationary period. Failure to do so could result in termination.
SENIORITY
Seniority accrued in ACRE, the union representing Assistant Conductors, will be established as of the date a new employee begins a pre-service training program. New employees with prior railroad experience will be placed on the ACRE seniority roster behind transferees in order of their prior railroad service. Employees without Metro-North or any other railroad experience will be placed on the roster in chronological order according to their birth dates.

The wage progression scale is as follows: 70>75>80>85>90>100%. The full rate of pay is $29.84/hour.
OTHER COMMENTS
All newly hired Assistant Conductors are required by contract to pass a qualifying examination for promotion to Conductor. The examination is given between the completion of two hundred (200) and five hundred and ten (510) days of actual work as an Assistant Conductor. Failure to pass this examination after three attempts will result in termination of employment.
This is a safety sensitive position and subject to toxicological testing.
SELECTION CRITERIA
To be selected for a position, an applicant must: (1) meet the minimum requirements in the job posting, (2) pass a written examination (if applicable), (3) satisfy a background investigation (which includes credit, if applicable), and (4) pass an oral interview, during which the interviewers will further evaluate the applicant’s qualifications for the position. Because the selection process is competitive, not all qualified applicants are granted an interview. Metro-North may also require the applicant to undergo a physical ability test, and, if the Company extends a conditional offer, may require him or her to undergo a medical examination, which may include toxicological testing.
For applicants who are current employees, you must be in active service and have worked in your present position for at least one year to be eligible to apply for a posted position. In addition, Metro-North employees are also subjected to an internal investigation, which includes an evaluation of their safety and discipline records, their performance assessments, and of their time and attendance records (including early quits and late starts) for the preceding 30 months. During the 30 month review period, the maximum number of occurrences allowed is 15, and the maximum number of patterns allowed is 8. (An “occurrence” is any absence or consecutive absences of four or more hours, and a “pattern” is an absence preceding or following rest days, holidays, vacation days, etc.) For employees with fewer than 30 months of service, the entire period of their employment is reviewed, and the maximum allowable number of incidents is pro-rated. Absences excused in accordance with Company Operating Procedures are not included for purposes of assessing whether attendance is satisfactory. If occurrences and/or patterns exceed the maximums allowed, the employee’s attendance is deemed unsatisfactory, and he or she is disqualified from further consideration, even if he or she has not been previously warned about his/her attendance.
We offer a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package.
