DAVID ROBY SIGNAL MAINTAINER

The job in itself is unique in many ways. Experiencing the different equipment both up to date and also historic in some situations is something he enjoys witnessing. He also enjoys the variety of unique tools needed to complete tasks.

We are thrilled to introduce you to one of our valued team members, David Roby, a Signal Maintainer who covers the Savannah Old Fort Rail-line in Savannah, GA and Jaxport Rail-line in Jacksonville, FL. Every day, David starts his day by clocking into a morning conference call at 6:45 am, which serves as a kickoff to the beginning of the day for the entire team. With an 8-hour workday that occasionally requires overtime, David is committed to ensuring that all crossings and equipment meet FRA and CDL requirements.

David’s work takes him on the road, driving a total of 2000 miles per month to inspect crossings and maintain equipment. Despite the long hours and driving, David still manages to spend quality time with his family, pursuing his passion for the outdoors through activities like hunting, fishing, and landscaping. As a former property superintendent and general contractor, David has a keen eye for detail, and he’s able to perform any household repairs, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work.
