  • Repair and replace guardrail components and attenuators to enhance roadside safety features.
  • Perform concrete repairs on sidewalks, bridges, and overpasses, ensuring structural soundness and pedestrian safety.
  • Fill and patch asphalt pavement potholes and other surface distresses to provide smooth, hazard-free driving surfaces.
  • Set up and maintain Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) and temporary traffic control zones, protecting work crews and motorists during roadwork.
  • Respond promptly to after-hours emergency incidents as part of a scheduled on-call rotation, demonstrating reliability and readiness.
  • Conduct thorough pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections to ensure equipment is safe and operational.
  • Perform preventative maintenance on company vehicles and equipment, supporting long-term reliability and safety.
  • Operate a wide range of equipment, including bed edgers, commercial mowers, tractors, mini-excavators, skid steers, gators, blowers, dump trailers, chain saws, line trimmers, forklifts, and more, with skill and care.
  • Use hand tools and power equipment safely and effectively for various maintenance tasks.
  • Drive company trucks, tow trailers, and operate rolling arrow boards as needed, following all traffic laws and safety guidelines.
  • Accurately log maintenance work orders and checklists, both manually and electronically, to ensure clear communication and compliance.
  • Load and unload equipment, supplies, tools, and materials safely and efficiently.
  • Perform other duties as requested by project leadership.

  • Abilities

  • Work independently on basic tasks and as a cooperative member of a crew while prioritizing safety and quality.
  • Lift up to 50 lbs., regularly carry up to 25 lbs., and perform frequent bending, kneeling, climbing in and out of trucks, and walking on uneven terrain near traffic.
  • Work outdoors in all weather, including heat, humidity, rain, and wind, and around dust, noise, vegetation, and roadside debris.
  • Adapt to multiple shifts, including nights, weekends, holidays, overtime, and emergency call-backs during storms.
