You’re responsible for deciding where best to place each type of sign, from mile markers to the large structures that stretch across all lanes, then making sure each is securely installed.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL TECHNICIAN
Keeping traffic moving is priority number one for a traffic signal technician. No one likes to wait for a red light to turn green when there is no one else at an intersection. Many times, situations like this are caused by a malfunctioning traffic signal controller that allocates the time for signals at an intersection. As a traffic signal technician, you are responsible for the repair, maintenance and installation of traffic signals as well as highway lighting systems. On-the-job training is provided.
