Mission Our Mission
Our mission is to advance global Rail Health® by providing integrated solutions that allow railroads and railways to operate more safely, reliably, and efficiently.
Description Sperry Rail has been the global leader in rail safety for nearly a century. By ensuring railroads stay strong, safe, and in service, we help keep the global economy moving. We’re a company with staying power and purpose, maintaining long-standing partnerships with the world’s largest railroads and active operations across six continents.
What We Do We use cutting-edge technology and skilled field teams to inspect railroad tracks and detect hidden flaws before they become safety risks. Sperry's specialized vehicles scan the rails for internal cracks and weaknesses that can’t be seen with the naked eye, helping prevent derailments and extend the life of vital infrastructure. Our work involves: • Operating high-tech inspection trucks and rail cars • Analyzing inspection data with proprietary software to identify and report track issues • Supporting freight and passenger railroads, government operators, and industrial and private networks
How We’re Transforming the Rail Industry Innovation is in our DNA – after all, our founder, Elmer Sperry, invented rail flaw inspection! Our reputation has allowed us to hire the top technology and engineering minds to transform how the rail industry approaches safety and efficiency. Some of our innovations include: • The first rail inspection company to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) • The most advanced sensors that find cracks deep inside the rail • Data systems that improve decision-making
We Offer Stability and Growth Our work is technical, but our culture is all about people. Sperry invests in people and processes, providing plenty of support and clear paths to advance your career. We offer: • Comprehensive training and advancement opportunities • A values-driven culture centered on safety, teamwork, and accountability • Industry-leading tools and technology to support success • The opportunity to be part of work that truly matters - protecting lives, communities, and the future of global rail
