Brothers & Sisters,

The following is a short job description as well as a hyperlink for the positions that Union Pacific Railroad have available as Electricians-Diesel Engines in North Platte, NE.  Please share this information with your membership and let them know that this request is due to a shortage of qualified applicants.

This is a new craft to Union Pacific and electricians in this craft  will work implementing Positive Train Control (PTC) technology into their fleet of diesel electric locomotives.  Positive Train Control refers to technology that is capable of preventing train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments and casualties to roadway workers operating within their limits of authority.

Electricians will diagnose electrical malfunctions in locomotive control circuits and components, assess the nature of problems, and identify corrective action needed.  Electricians will use blueprints, schematics and location circuit plans, scheduled electrical inspections of various components and inspection and test of circuits when installing Positive Train Control equipment.  Electricians will also perform maintenance and repair of electrical components in locomotive cabs or electrical compartments and perform maintenance for miscellaneous equipment.

As this new technology continues to grow, Union Pacific continues to be an industry leader in the development and implementation of Positive Train Control.  The following link will take you to the full job description and the application:
