As a Traffic Control Apprentice, you will serve as the critical link between active work zones and the public. You will control vehicle and pedestrian traffic using handheld signs, paddles, and flags, while setting up and maintaining temporary work zones complete with signs, barricades, and cones. This position requires you to communicate clearly with drivers to guide safe traffic flow and monitor construction activity to anticipate potential hazards.
