High school diploma or equivalent

Completion of MTTM-provided orientation and signal equipment training

PHYSICAL DEMANDS AND WORK ENVIRONMENT

Standing and walking for extended periods (up to 10-12 hours)

Outdoor conditions, including heat, rain, and cold

Occasional lifting of equipment up to 20 lbs

Work in proximity to moving vehicles, temporary barricades, and electrical equipment

Use of high-visibility apparel and PPE provided by MTTM

SAFETY AND PROFESSIONAL EXPECTATIONS

Special Event Officers are expected to follow all Environmental Health & Safety policies and act as ambassadors of MTTM's safety culture. Officers must demonstrate integrity, accountability, and a commitment to safeguarding lives-one lane at a time.

NOTES

This position is part-time and event-driven, offering flexible scheduling with premium assignments during concerts, festivals, sporting events, and civic functions. Additional responsibilities may be assigned based on site needs and traffic complexity.
