Traffic Signalization & ITS Field Superintendent

Lead the Work That Keeps a City Moving

Sunrise finds you on site, walking the traffic control setup, checking utilities are located and cleared, and confirming the day’s plan with Foremen. By mid-morning, you’re sequencing trenching, boring, and conduit runs, coordinating bucket and crane trucks for pole erection, and validating cabinet locations against redlined plans. In the afternoon, you’re troubleshooting a detection issue, closing out inspections, and updating HCSS with installed quantities and production. You end the day aligning crews for tomorrow’s look-ahead while reinforcing a strong safety culture.
