Job description

Lead the Work That Keeps a City Moving

Sunrise finds you on site, walking the traffic control setup, checking utilities are located and cleared, and confirming the day’s plan with Foremen. By mid-morning, you’re sequencing trenching, boring, and conduit runs, coordinating bucket and crane trucks for pole erection, and validating cabinet locations against redlined plans. In the afternoon, you’re troubleshooting a detection issue, closing out inspections, and updating HCSS with installed quantities and production. You end the day aligning crews for tomorrow’s look-ahead while reinforcing a strong safety culture.

What You’ll Take Charge Of

• Direct daily field execution for signal, ITS, illumination, pedestrian, underground, and overhead scopes across multiple projects.
• Translate plans, specifications, traffic signal standards, wiring diagrams, cabinet drawings, and details into clear field direction.
• Lay out and verify signal poles, foundations, conduit, pull boxes, cabinets, detection, pedestrian features, and related equipment in partnership with Survey and Project Management.
• Plan work sequences: utility locating, trenching, drilling/boring, conduit placement, foundation construction, pole setting, cabling, cabinet install, testing, and system turn-on.
• Resolve constructability and field conflicts (utilities, access, phasing, tolerances, existing infrastructure) within your authority.
• Enforce QA/QC for foundations, conduit systems, wiring, grounding, terminations, cabinet installation, test readiness, punch items, and final acceptance.
• Set the means and methods for high-risk tasks including crane/bucket work, high-mast or large sign installs, deep excavations, night operations, and active-traffic phasing.
• Lead troubleshooting for detection, MMUs/conflict monitors, controllers, communications, and field devices.
• Own safety on site; uphold OSHA, TxDOT, COSA, COA, and company safety requirements.
• Run safety audits focused on traffic control, trenching/excavation, lifting, fall protection, electrical hazards, confined space, and equipment use.
• Confirm permits, inspections, utility clearances, traffic control plans, and safety documentation are in place before work begins.
• Partner with Safety on incident investigations, corrective actions, and targeted retraining; lead daily safety huddles and hold teams accountable.
• Supervise Foremen and guide several underground and/or overhead crews.
• Set production goals; balance manpower, equipment, and sequencing to maintain schedule commitments.
• Schedule and deploy bucket trucks, crane trucks, pressure diggers, trenchers, hydrovacs, HDD rigs, TMAs, PCMS, arrow boards, excavators, and other support gear.
• Coordinate with Fleet, Yard, and Procurement for equipment readiness, specialty tools, staging, and on-time deliveries.
• Track signal materials, consignment inventory, equipment, and long-lead/high-demand items to prevent shortages and waste.
• Maintain accurate daily logs, installed quantities, redlines, test records, production reports, and HCSS entries.
• Contribute to weekly planning, L10s, look-aheads, and coordination meetings.
• Monitor schedule and budget performance; surface risks and constraints to Project Management and the Area Superintendent.
• Deploy standard work, lessons learned, field training, and continuous improvement across crews.
• Serve as the primary field contact for inspectors, agencies, utilities, and clients.
• Coordinate inspections, testing, energization, punch-list burn-down, and final acceptance.
• Participate in preconstruction, progress, and final walkthrough meetings; uphold jobsite professionalism, housekeeping, traffic control, and public interface.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

About You

• 7-10+ years of progressive traffic signal or closely related electrical/civil field experience, including time as a Superintendent or senior Foreman.
• Deep knowledge of signal/ITS/illumination work, underground conduit and foundations, and overhead signal installation.
• Fluent with TxDOT, COSA, COA, NEC, MUTCD, project specifications, and signal QA/QC practices.
• Can read and apply plans, wiring diagrams, cabinet drawings, traffic control plans, and schedules.
• OSHA 30 preferred; excavation/trenching competent person and IMSA certifications preferred.
• Comfortable with iPad-based field tools; experienced with HCSS for time, quantities, diaries, and documentation.
• Strong leadership, communication, planning, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Valid driver’s license and the flexibility to work nights/weekends or respond to emergencies as operations require.
• High school diploma/equivalent required; coursework in electrical, construction management, or related fields preferred.
