Traffic Signalization & ITS Field Superintendent
ConfidentialLead 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.
