• Perform routine equipment checks and preventive maintenance to help keep trucks and equipment ready to work.

• Assist with traffic control, building and grounds maintenance, and other crew duties as needed.

• Work safely around active traffic and in changing road, weather, and seasonal conditions.

• At least 1 year experience working in road construction and/or road maintenance is preferred.

• Valid Class A CDL with air brake and manual transmission capability required.
