Job Description
Our company is a leading provider of specialized traffic control services focused on construction, utility, and special event projects. With a firm commitment to safety, compliance, and excellence, we ensure the setup, maintenance, and removal of temporary traffic control zones align with all applicable regulations. As an established business within the transportation and infrastructure support industry, we adhere to local, state, and federal guidelines including the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. Our clients range from public agencies to private contractors who depend on our expertise to manage traffic flow and ensure safety in active work zones.
The Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) is a vital leadership role within our organization. This position oversees the safe and effective implementation of temporary traffic control (TTC) operations, directly impacting road user safety and project success. The TCS coordinates with field crews, clients, and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and smooth traffic management. This role requires extensive knowledge of traffic control principles, excellent decision-making skills, and the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams in fast-paced, safety-sensitive environments.
In this field-based supervisory role, the TCS is responsible for planning work zone layouts according to approved traffic control plans, conducting thorough site inspections before and after job completion, and ensuring all safety protocols and regulatory requirements are strictly followed. The supervisor facilitates communication between field crews and operational teams, responding in real-time to changing conditions and challenges encountered on site. They also lead safety meetings, enforce the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and maintain detailed documentation such as incident reports and equipment checklists.
The Traffic Control Supervisor’s responsibilities extend to managing the deployment and maintenance of traffic control devices like cones, signs, arrow boards, and crash trucks. Additionally, this role includes training, mentoring, and evaluating crew members to promote adherence to best practices and safety standards. Effective communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills are indispensable for success in this position.
Ideal candidates will possess a valid Traffic Control Supervisor certification, a clean driving record, and several years of experience in traffic control or construction roles with proven supervisory capabilities. Physical fitness and the ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions are essential, as is a commitment to maintaining a safe and compliant work environment.
This full-time position offers dynamic, safety-critical work that demands attention to detail, adaptability, and leadership. The Traffic Control Supervisor is central to protecting workers, motorists, and pedestrians, contributing crucially to the success of transportation and public safety projects. We are an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion within our workforce.
