Power Player – August 2025

Jose Matos

Operations Manager in New Wales, FL

Jose’s superpower is his ability to motivate any crew he works with! He’s known for coming in every day with a smile on his face and an infectious can-do attitude. His enthusiasm and strong work ethic set a great example for his team. His organizational skills have helped to improve his department’s productivity, and he displays a professional attitude to both customers and team members.

In the words of Daniel Ares, the Material Handler who nominated Jose for Power Player, “His professionalism as a manager is unmatched. If he says something will get done, he gets it done. PTO, requested days off, boot allowance, any employee benefit gets handled within a timely manner. If there is a conflict between employees, he will hear everyone out and have a sit down with all affected employees and come to a resolution.”

Road & Rail Services strives for a work culture where managers do exactly what Jose does — lead by example and lift up those around them. Congratulations, Jose!
