A conductor can make sure that everyone plays at the same beat.
The conductor is usually a learned scholar of certain composers works and will offer his ideas and interpretations to the members of the orchestra during rehearsals on what he thinks the composer intended the piece to sound like. Besides keeping time, there is also the matter of phrasing, tempo changes, and dynamic changes.

The conductor's job is to get the orchestra to perform the music at hand to the best of their ability, and in accordance with a certain view of the music that he/she has.

But before performances, they often make adjustments to the music, work with the orchestra to develop a unique sound, and relay their artistic ideas to the orchestra members (to get them on the same page, so to speak).

Name something an orchestra conductor needs to do his job?
To become an orchestra musician, you must first play an orchestral instrument and be commited to it. Being in an orchestra is hard work and if you are not commited, it won't be a very enjoyable experience. Then you have to find an orchestra. If you are still in school, your school might have an orchestra program. If not, there might be a local youth orchestra. Most orchestras have an audition process to select the musicians, so make sure you have the appropriate repertoire prepared. If you are an adult and have had orchestral playing experience in your youth, you might want to try audition for a professional orchestra. The chances of getting into a professional orchestra are much slimmer than a youth orchestra especially if you are a woodwind/brass/percussion player. Only audition for a professional orchestra if you are seriously commited to your instrument. If you are an adult and have had little/no orchestral playing experience or you don't have the commitment/time to be in a professional orchestra, try find a community orchestra for adults. Community orchestras provide an opportunity for adults who never got to play in orchestras a lot. Generally, community orchestras don't have an audition process and you can just sign up.
What else does the conductor do?
Apart from conducting an orchestra or a choir at a concert, the conductor helps them to rehearse the music several times before the concert to help everyone to understand the music and how to play - and sing it - it as well as possible, so that it sounds great for the audience at the concert.
