ABOUT THE ROLE

 

Are you a hands-on, mechanically savvy professional who thrives in a fast-paced industrial environment? Express Employment Professionals is actively hiring a Terminal Operator to support a high-volume cement distribution operation right here in the Permian Basin. This is your chance to step into a critical role where your skills keep product moving, customers satisfied, and operations running at full speed. If you take ownership of your work, aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, and bring reliability to everything you do — we want to hear from you TODAY.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

 

▪        Take charge of loading and unloading cement from railcars and trucks — keeping product moving on time, every time

▪        Spot and block vehicles and rail cars using a track mobile; set brakes and manage precise car positioning

▪        Run spouts, chutes, and conveyors like a pro — directing material flow safely and efficiently

▪        Open air valves, hopper doors, and pneumatic conveyors; dial in damper settings to hit target feed rates

▪        Pull cement samples and stay on top of inventory — accuracy matters and you own it

▪        Operate vibrators to keep hoppers flowing freely; physical work including lifting, crawling, and bending is part of the job

▪        Monitor pressure gauges and make on-the-fly valve adjustments to maintain optimal pumping pressure

▪        Keep meticulous records: car weights, volumes loaded, cars dumped and filled — no detail too small

▪        Handle all distribution paperwork end-to-end: invoices, BOLs, CODs, weight tickets, load-out tickets, and railcar orders

▪        Be the communication hub — coordinate with railroad contacts, truck drivers, customers, sales, and vendors to ensure on-time delivery

▪        Keep the terminal running: maintain, repair, and replace valves, augers, air compressors, vibrators, dust collectors, hydraulic cylinders, and more

▪        Break out the torch — welding and cutting operations are part of keeping equipment in top shape

▪        Operate forklifts, track mobiles, and other mobile equipment with confidence

▪        Think like an engineer: diagnose machinery issues, identify root causes, and drive continuous improvement

▪        Step in and support other terminals when operators or managers are out — flexibility is key

▪        Champion a safe, clean work environment and lead by example on OSHA compliance every single day

 

QUALIFICATIONS

 

What You'll Need:

▪        High School Diploma or GED

▪        1-year certificate from a college or technical school

▪        3–6 years of solid, hands-on experience in product distribution and customer relations

▪        Computer proficiency — you can navigate software and generate accurate documentation

▪        Real mechanical ability — you don't just report problems, you solve them

Bonus Points If You Have:

▪        Working knowledge of cement and ready-mix operations

▪        Familiarity with the transportation/logistics industry

▪        Forklift certification — bring that ticket!

▪        Track Mobile training under your belt

▪        OSHA / Safety training credentials

✓  Accountability	✓  Communication	✓  Client Focus
✓  Innovation & Problem Solving	✓  Self-Motivation	✓  Teamwork

 

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS & WORK CONDITIONS

 

This is a physically demanding, high-activity role in a working industrial terminal. You'll need to be ready to:

▪        Lift up to 50 lbs. frequently throughout your shift

▪        Stay on your feet and stay active — standing, walking, climbing, crawling, crouching, kneeling, stooping, and reaching are all part of the day

▪        Handle tough environmental conditions: extreme temps, dust, fumes, vibration, wet/humid settings, and mechanical and high-voltage hazard zones

▪        Sharp senses required — visual acuity, hearing, and steady hands (grasping, fingering, feeling) are essential on the job
