  • Setting up and moving traffic control devices and safety signage.
  • Perform all other ancillary duties and manual tasks customary to a heavy construction or civil engineering site to ensure project continuity and crew safety.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Prior experience in heavy highway, site development, or asphalt construction preferred.
  • Familiarity with operating graders, backhoes, dozers, or similar equipment.
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a team or independently on a job site.
  • Formal training or equipment certifications are a plus.
  • Valid driver's license required.
  • Must be safety conscious, reliable, and able to work in physically demanding outdoor environments.

Physical & Mental Demands:

  • Local travel traditionally
  • Required overtime
  • Seasonal layoffs
  • Extensive physical activity
  • Must work outdoors and in all weather conditions/terrain
