What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a flagger, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Flagger, you need a solid understanding of traffic control procedures, safety regulations, and often a flagger certification such as from the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA). Familiarity with two-way radios, high-visibility safety gear, and standard traffic signage is typically required. Strong communication, vigilance, and the ability to stay calm under pressure are essential soft skills. These abilities ensure safe and efficient movement of traffic and protection of workers and the public in construction or roadwork zones.

What does a flagger do?

A Flagger typically works for a government agency or construction company to direct and control the flow of traffic around construction and work sites. Flaggers erect traffic signs, position barricades, and traffic cones to guide drivers, inform motorists regarding detours, and communicate with other Flaggers and Construction Workers about stops and traffic flow as required. Duties and responsibilities also include maintaining records of undisciplined drivers that violate directions and do not obey construction signs by taking note of their license plate numbers. Flaggers typically provide traffic violation reports to their supervisor to send them to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

What are some common challenges flaggers face on the job, and how can they be addressed?

Flaggers often work in environments with heavy traffic, variable weather, and constant noise, requiring strong focus and communication skills. One common challenge is maintaining attention and safety for long periods, especially during monotonous stretches. Staying alert, regularly rotating positions with coworkers, and using personal protective equipment can help manage fatigue and ensure safety. Additionally, effective communication with the construction crew and drivers is essential to prevent misunderstandings and accidents.

What is the difference between Flagger vs Traffic Control Technician?

AspectFlaggerTraffic Control Technician
CertificationsFlagger certification, OSHA safety trainingFlagger certification, OSHA safety training, sometimes additional certifications
Work EnvironmentOn-site at construction zones, roadsideOn-site at construction zones, may oversee multiple flaggers
Job ResponsibilitiesDirecting traffic, ensuring safety at work zonesSetting up traffic control devices, supervising flaggers, planning traffic flow

While both roles focus on traffic safety at construction sites, a Flagger primarily directs traffic and ensures safety during work zone operations. A Traffic Control Technician often has broader responsibilities, including setting up traffic control plans and supervising flaggers. Both roles require similar certifications and work in similar environments, but the Traffic Control Technician typically has additional planning duties.

Where do flaggers get paid the most?

Flaggers tend to earn higher wages in regions with a high cost of living or strong construction industries, such as certain metropolitan areas or states with active infrastructure projects. Experience, certifications, and working for larger contractors can also lead to higher pay rates for flaggers.

Job description

Construction Laborer

ABOUT RUMMEL CONSTRUCTION, INC.

Rummel Construction, Inc. is a heavy civil general contractor specializing in mass excavation and grading. We have been providing earth-moving services to the Southwest, United States since 1996. Unlike other heavy civil contractors, we diversify in a broad range of markets including mining, landfills, golf courses, residential, CMAR/JOC, wind and energy, recreation, flood control, and transportation. With over 400 pieces of equipment and upwards of 75+ jobs on our construction schedule, we aren't like the rest. We are dedicated to delivering safe, innovative solutions to our clients by means of our experienced and committed management team. Rummel goes above and beyond expectations to cultivate a loyal, reliable partnership with its clients.

Our key values include quality, teamwork, service, and attitude. Our foundations for success are not an afterthought; they are simply the summation of the values of the people we have on our team that have contributed to our success. We strongly believe in promoting within and growing our employees. We take pride in our in-house training and apprenticeship programs.

CONSTRUCTION LABOR

On earthmoving projects, the role of a laborer will vary day to day. One day you may be working as a certified traffic control flagger (we'll train you), the next day you may be setting rip rap rock in a flood control channel. Labor crews are vital to the set up of new projects and frequently set up massive sprinkler systems to prepare the soil for our equipment. The common theme is that you're going to be working on the ground with hand tools, doing lots of walking in muddy conditions, lifting and carrying. If you've never worked in construction, this is a great primer to becoming familiar with the equipment and labor involved.

You can expect to:

  • Work outside in all seasons
  • Stand, walk and carry tools and materials from 10-50 lbs
  • Clearly communicate with teammates, operators and supervisors
  • Provide Work Zone traffic control as a flagger (don't worry we'll train you)
  • Use shovels, brooms, hand tools to assist earthwork operations
  • Haul, carry and set up HDPE pipe for pre-wet operations

This is a safety-sensitive position that requires the following:

  • The ability to move and lift materials and tools ranging from 10-50 lbs
  • The ability to communicate with co-workers using hand signals and two-way radios
  • The ability to safely walk on 2:1 slopes and unfinished, rough terrain throughout the job site
  • The ability to safely and properly use hand tools and equipment according to Company Policies and Procedures
  • The ability to work in a wide range of weather conditions - hot, cold, wet, humid
  • The ability to perform safe and efficient labor according to the Company Policies and Procedures

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Must be at least 18 years old and have reliable transportation to get to job sites. Our work takes us all over the Southwest US and you must also be willing to travel to project locations.

Rummel Construction, Inc. is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and does not discriminate against employees or applicants based on race, color, religion, creed, national origin, sex, age, pregnancy, genetic information, disability, or protected veteran status. This commitment applies to all employment practices, including hiring, promotion, transfer, recruitment, compensation, training, and termination.

If you need accommodations due to a disability, please contact Human Resources at 480-222-9922. Our EEO Officer and HR team are available to address any questions or concerns regarding this policy.
