Where You Belong

What I enjoy most about working at RoadSafe is knowing that we contribute to the safety of our customers and the motoring public. It gives me a sense of pride to be part of something bigger than myself. Every day is different at RoadSafe—since we provide traffic control across three states, I’m constantly faced with new challenges and opportunities. Some days are fast-paced and demanding, while others are more laid-back, but each day I feel like we’re making a real impact by delivering the best traffic control solutions available.

Jacob Casto, Operations Manager. West Virginia

My experience at RoadSafe Traffic Systems has been positive and rewarding. I enjoy learning about our materials, assisting customers, and working in a welcoming environment with supportive co-workers and management. Management is accessible, providing timely feedback and support. Safety is a priority, with the "Stop Work Authority" allowing employees to halt unsafe work without repercussions and regular safety meetings and videos keep everyone engaged in maintaining a safe workplace. Since joining, I’ve become a notary, further supporting the company. And investing in the 401(k) and life insurance benefits have offered valuable security for my future.

Hanna Daiqori, Administrative Coordinator. New Mexico

As a relatively new employee to RoadSafe Traffic systems, and as someone who has never worked in the construction industry, I was immediately drawn to the opportunity for learning and growth that my position with RoadSafe would afford me. Since being with the company, I have been given multiple projects to help improve communication and strengthen friendships among team members. I also know that my desire to learn and improve my workplace is heard by my Branch and Operations Managers as they are continuously looking for more ways to help me grow. Since being a member of the RoadSafe team, I have been impressed with the emphasis on safety within the company. Safety Moments start each meeting, Pre and Post checks keep vehicles in top working order and wearing PPE is mandated to keep each employee safe and ensures we all go home to our families at the end of the day. I am excited to be part of the RoadSafe team.
